Work mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], personal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Procmail filters personal mail into a different folder. I use
folder-hooks to switch my `From' header when I'm reading personal
mail:
folder-hook . my_hdr From: Tim Pierce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
folder-hook personal my_hdr From: Tim Pierce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
send-hooks might work better for some folks, to change the return
address based on who you're sending the mail to.
