I'm still working on how to send mail out in mutt. While trying to figure this out, I found /etc/HOSTNAME and I opened it. It read 'alcyone.astound.net' -- astound.net is my old cable provider from St. Cloud, but now I'm using Time Warner. I don't know why the alcyone is there. It's one of my nicknames, but it's not and never has been my username. But I'm assuming I don't need this file to read that anymore. Should I change it to mn.rr.com? Or do I still need an alcyone at the beginning? Is this causing problems for me when I try to send mail out? Lorry, determined to figure out this linux stuff if it kills her
