[helpful & detailed example snipped]

I'm trying to make "personalities" that are as separate as possible.
That means I want to change everything in the headers that points to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], including in the envelope, when I reply to a message to
an alternate identity. Using your example, I've come close with two
profiles:

# rex's profile
# set rex (From and Organization, no Reply-To)
my_hdr From: \"rex\" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
My_hdr Organization: None
set hostname="ptw.com"
set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem"

# user's profile
my_hdr From: \"first last\" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
my_hdr Organization: You're kidding, right?
# change hostname so "Message-ID:" has "otherdomain"
set hostname="otherdomain.com"
# set the envelope to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
# "PrivacyOptions=authwarnings" should be commented out in sendmail.cf 
set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The above profile files are sourced from .muttrc:

# PROFILE: rex
# load rex
# ~/.mutt/profile-rex
send-hook .  source ~/.mutt/profile-rex

# PROFILE user
# ~/.mutt/profile-user
send-hook '~C "user@otherdomain\.com"' source ~/.mutt/profile-user

This works fairly well. When I reply to mail addressed to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]," "rex" only appears in two places in the header.
The first is in "Received from rex@localhost," and the second in
"Received from ... HELO [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

The first can be fixed by adding a user "user" to my system and mailing
from there. The second is added by my ISP, and I see no way to
eliminate the revealing "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Anyone have any ideas short of using an anonymous remailer? I'm not
looking for real security here, I'd just like to keep "rex" out of
the headers when replying as another personality.

I'm using sendmail, using ptw.com as a smart relay, and masquerading
as ptw.com.

TIA,
