First things.  Mutt will create a directory called ~/.mutt and you
can place muttrc in there (note there is no leading . on the filename).


Now, I know whereof you speak, so I added the following lines to my
muttrc:

my_hdr From: Nate Bargmann <n0nb@networksplus.net>                              

So far this has kept Exim from telling the world my user@hostname.  You
can mangle headers in other ways using the my_hdr line.  Also, you'll
likely want to use muttrc to set up some custom colors and get away from
the default black and white.
