GUI mail client recommendations ...

Ok I'll bite.
I installed fetchmail and fairly quickly had it retreiving mail into system.
I installed mutt and spent 2 hours looking at man and muttrc. Wow.
What I dont get is how mutt replies to mail I retrived from '
mywork.mailserver.com'.
I have to use '' to send the mail. I think I do it like this.

mutt sends mail as usual. Then,
fetchmail -S smtp.myispmailserver.net

The mail bounces from myispmailserver.net with an error like
me at walnut.bc.net (my private domain) is urecognized domain. (exact message
escapes me at this time)

The question is how do I tell mutt to send all mail out through '
smtp.myispmailserver.net'?
Or maybe I need to configure sendmail or fetchmail differntly?

Can someone point me to some sample configs or human readable help
information?

Thanks
