Two parts.  In ~/.muttrc, put:

set from="Lux Zhang <yuanlux@xxxxxxxxx>"


And mutt really does require you to be running some form of Mail
Transport Agent, such as sendmail, locally.   A minimal sendmail, with
a smarthost defined to point at your ISP's smtp server, is all you
need.

On sendmail, the easist way to do this is to set an outgoing server in
/etc/mail/mailertable with a line such as:

.   smtp:[smtp-server.your-isp.com]

and restart sendmail.

Thanks,
Matt
