I used that too for a while. But you can also use:
set from="Sam Watkins <swatkins@fastmail.fm>"
Or probably a bit better:
set from=swatkins@fastmail.fm
set realname="Sam Watkins"
In both cases you need to set:
set use_from=yes

Correct. Usually when others reply to your email their program will
send it to the address you specified in the From header. When you want
them to send it to a different address, you can set the Reply-To
header.
