Actually this ubuntu list seems to be happier about me using mutt. When
I tried posting to the SUSE list it barfed at me because my return-path
differed from the subscribed address.

I ran a quick test. My local postfix relays to my mailhost. Using mutt
to send to my gmail account, sets the return-path to my
username at mydomain. Using Evolution, the return-path is set to my From:
address.

I have been trying to understand what is setting the return-path. If the
MUA is not setting the return-path, then why do Evolution and mutt
produce different return-paths?
