Sounds like you need to set your default signature to be "work" and then
set your signature whenever you want to "change" it... you can do this
as hooks based on your aliases or send-hooks or whatever (I think this is
tersely presented on the Mutt pages: at least that's where <I> got it
from, I'm pretty sure). But here's some examples...
# Here's the default....
send-hook . \
'set signature="/usr/home/russell/.sigs/bin/rsig.pl quotes |"'
$ Here's what happens when I use this account to send mail "from/to loosenut"
send-hook loosenut.com set signature="~/.sigs/loosenut"
send-hook loosenut.com \

...the possibilities are fairly limitless, but hopefully this gives you
something to go on...
