Yes, sorry... I was reading thru the docs, and use_from got stuck on
my head...

yes, it's properly set up.

I have a better idea of what I want now...

 * Use reverse_name when replying, always.  For example, if
   [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends me an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but my send hook
   says mutt should use [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending mail to
   [EMAIL PROTECTED], I want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be used, not
   [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reverse_name does this, but not quite)

 * I want to use my bigfoot address with friends and such, because
   it's easier for them to remember (send-hook does this, and it seems
   to take precedence over reverse_name, am I wrong?)

 * Use my university's address otherwise ("send-hook ." takes care of
   this, but it overrides reverse_name, it seems)

Is it possible to do want I want?

TIA and sorry about the noise,


        Marcelo
