I must be slow or something but here is 6.3.6 from the documentation.
It only states addresses as alternates. I really do not want to debate
what the definition of an "alternate" is but it's the same as
an "alternative" or not the original. Thus, not the original which would
be referring to your original or real email address. By reading this it
would indicate that a user would set "$alternates" for alternative
addresses and not your primary address.
6.3.6. alternates
Type: regular expression
Default: ""
A regexp that allows you to specify alternate addresses where you
receive mail. This affects Mutt's idea about messages from you and
addressed to you.
Section 6.4.49 is irrevelant because I have "my_hdr" set and it did not
matter in this situation. $alternates had to be set to work correctly.
I would be more than happy to write a better explanation if someone
really wants me to for the documentation. I only want to make Mutt
better like everyone else.
