It's fairly straightforward in mutt, by editing the configuration file
muttrc or using keyboard commands. Here are 4 ways to do it.
1) Include the line "set edit_headers" in your muttrc.
With this set, you can edit the message headers along with the main
message body. If you want a custom "From: " line, you can add this in
along with the other headers.
2) From the "send mail" menu, press E to edit the message along with
headers, and add the "From" line of your choice.
3) From the "send mail" menu, press ESC-f to directly edit the "From"
line.
4) Use the "from" variable, or the "my_hdr" command to specify the
"From" line of your choice.
Use of these variables or commands can be automated using "hooks", so
that under specified conditions (eg being in a particular folder), a
predefined From address is used -- or (I think this is possible) by
binding a command like
set from="alternative-address@example.com"
to a single key.
