I haven't looked at that image in particular, but you might also want to
try running 'Eterm -t mutt', which has always seemed kinda neat to me.

This has been answered already, but there are a few other things to be
aware of:

1) Your email will still contain a full list of From headers (which is
   different to From: ), so people can look at these and see a) which
   machine it was actually sent from, and b) what your local username
   is.  'h' in mutt will let you take a look at these for any email.
2) Your MTA may or may not include other information.  Exim, by default,
   includes a Sender: line in the headers which shows your actual, local
   email address.  Unless you're listed in the 'trusted_users' list in
   /etc/exim/exim.conf
