Mihai,

Thanks very much again! So I have found a flaw in my setup. Basically, if the email is postponed and called from the draft, it uses my work account (because that is set up to be the default). Is it possible to set things up so that mutt will look at the sending address (@email dot com or the work address, say) and decide to use the appropriate smtp?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
