Hi All,

finally I found the solution: In my .neomuttrc which is a sort of hotchpotch
of several suggestions of .muttrc's there was the command

set   	force_name       # set: save outbound mail by username
                         # (even if =username does not exist)

After removing it all is ok and this mail is stored in folder "=mutt" as it should!

Cheers, Rudolf
