| I have this in my .muttrc:
| 
|     set realname="Matijs van Zuijlen"
|     set from=Matijs.van.Zuijlen@xs4all.nl
|     set use_from

I use this in conjunction with a my_hdr directive and some send-hooks
to use a different address depending on where the message is going to.
Here's what I have :


set realname="dman" from='dman@dman.ddts.net'
set use_from

# reset the From: header first.  This must execute before the below hooks.
send-hook '~t ^.*$' unmy_hdr From

#  this works, but is harder to reset each time.
#send-hook '~t ^.*@iteams\.org$' \
#    set realname='Derrick\ Hudson' from='derrick.hudson@iteams.org'
send-hook '~t ^.*@iteams\.org$' \
    my_hdr 'From: Derrick Hudson <derrick.hudson@iteams.org>'

send-hook '~t ^exim-users@exim.org$' my_hdr 'From: dman <dsh8290@rit.edu>'
