Ensure that use_from is set in mutt. It defaults to yes, and your posted config file left it unchanged, but if unset it would give behaviour like you describe. From within mutt just type :set use_from You could see if setting edit_headers (in mutt) helps anything. It should enable you to see and edit the From: header in nano with the body of the message. Then in the confirmation screen, you should see the correct From: line (instead of a blank). If it still doesn't work, then something along the way (smail, perhaps) is rewriting it.
