My first email was actually a resend after I got a bounce. I must have
answered a question wrongly during setup of exim. When I copied the
exim setup from the old system, the new started sending email
properly. If I really want a clean new system (and I do) I'll probably
end up re-doing last nights work.

Thanks for the help. I had not known of these, but ... On my computer
the two installation Muttrc files are identical (no differences
discovered by diff) and there is no Muttrc.d directory in either
installation. I can see in /usr/lib/mutt evidence that Muttrd.d is a
legitimate part of some installations of mutt (a script that
references it), but its not there for me. I didn't see any config
information in /usr/lib/mutt (not surprising, there shouldn't be any
according to policy) The different behavior remains a puzzle.
