Here's how I would do it:

folder-hook . unmy_hdr *
folder-hook .            my_hdr From: Paul Mackinney <paul@mackinney.net>
folder-hook college.mbox my_hdr From: Paul Mackinney <pmack999@college.edu>

The first line clears all header customizations; the second, with the
folder name specified as ".", sets the default for all folders that
don't have their own hook; the third says that in the folder
"college.mbox", the From: line should be set to use the .edu account.
