actually, not entirely; because I can rewrite my "From:" address in mutt by
hand, each time I send a message (and it works). I want that done
automatically. 
        doing it in Sendmail (or whatever your MTA is) is the best way, tho;
because then when one uses plain 'mail' or 'mailto' or mails something with
GIMP (which I suppose uses mailto); it'll rewrite those headers as well.

also; mutt insists on sending the body of the message as a MIME text
attachment. out of good netiquette, I would prefer it just put in as plain
text. how do I make it work that way?

anyone have experience with Mutt's POP3 features? are they any good?

I really should get off my lazy butt and work on this stuff instead of
IRCing and web browsing when I'm booted into Linux...
