You will find better reasons once to get used to mutt, I'm sure :-)

Search for profile and you'll find everything you need.

It is far easier use different rcfiles for different roles. You could
write macros to change between them.
# ~/.profile-admin
signature=~/.signature-admin
my_hdr From: Freezer Burn Admin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...
#~/.profile-xyz
...
# ~/.muttrc
[your normal setting]
macro index \ea ':source ~/.profile-admin' "Change profile to admin"
macro index \eo ':source ~/.muttrc' "Reset profile to default"
...
Or you could use folder- / send-hooks to change profiles automaticly.

You forgot to set the ':' since you want to execute commands.
macro index \ea ':set signature=~/.signature-admin; \
my_hdr From: Freezer Burn Admin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
This should work, unless you have any default sent-hook which
overwrites these settings.

Yes, this is how send-hooks work :)
See the manual. If you want to change something based on the folder
you're in use the folder-hook command.

Unfortunatly it's not possible to match any header of a message to be
replied.
Since you sort mail addressed to admin@... in the =freezerburn folder
use: folder-hook =freezerburn 'set signature...'

You don't need no compose command. s.o.
