Preparing to change mail client to use Mutt, advice requested.

[Garrett Klein]

Also, if you normally send mail through your ISP's mail server, prepare to
do some reconfiguration of your MTA program. First you have to set it to
ralay to your ISP's smtp server, then in your .muttrc you do:
set from=address at my.isp, substituting address and my.isp to their real
values. There's another parameter to set your "Real name," can't remember if
it's realname or fullname.

HTH,
Garrett
