% Is it possible to have multiple personalities in Mutt?

Yes, but not quite like role selection that I hear PINE offers.


% 
% Suppose I want to compose an email. I want it to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
% have a signature file of ~.signatures/foo.signature.txt. After the enmail
% is composed and sent, I want the items cusomized for the email to revert
% to their settings for my usual personality.

Just use something like

  send-hook . source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc.usual   # default
  send-hook [EMAIL PROTECTED] source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc.foo   # become foo@bar
  send-hook bar.edu source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc.edu       # be a student

If all you want to change is the From: header, just use a my_hdr command
right in your main muttrc with the send-hooks above (or split things out
by folders and use folder-hooks); if you want to change more than one or
two things, then you probably want to put those settings off into their
own muttrc files to source.

Note that these examples haven't been rigorously tested; I use
folder-hooks to manage my schizophrenia.
