Ok, I got it working: However, I think mutt has a small bug. The problem was that I has specified in the config file (.muttrc) an alternative file for my mail aliases. The aliases were beeing put there, but it was not picking them up when I went to write a message. So, I just allowed it to put the aliases in the default location and it works! Is this a bug that I should report? Or is it just the way it is supposed to work (for some strange reason)? Thanx! David B.
