Ok, you want to use $reverse_name.

That won't work, ~f is a pattern match operator, not a variable.
And secondly, you unfortunately can't mix use of $reverse_name with a
"my_hdr From: ..." command, the my_hdr takes precedence and the
$reverse_name effect gets ignored. (There is a solution for this in
the developement branch version of Mutt, but if you don't need to use
"my_hdr From:" for anything else then you can ignore that, and just
not use "my_hdr From:" at all.)

This is what you want.
If it doesn't work, make sure you don't have any "my_hdr From:"
definitions.
Also, be sure to make sure your alternates setting is correct. (I'm not
sure if that's needed for $reverse_name, but it's a good idea to have it
set up properly anyway.) For example, this is (part of) what I use:
set alternates=^([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|mikko@.*dna.fi)$

You probably want to actually have "unset reply_self", which is the
default. This is mostly useful when you're looking at an email you sent
yourself (for example, in a =sent-mail folder) and want to send an email
to all the people you originally emailed, but comment on what you
yourself wrote. If you have $reply_self unset, you can hit just "r" to
do that, provided your alternates setting is correct.
Hope this helped,
Mikko
