No, $alternates is just a way to specify which mail accounts are yours for
purposes to presenting $index_chars to you in the main mail display.
What you need to do is set up a series of send-hook's to change the from:
line based upon who you are sending mail to.
First you use a default hook to set the mail address you most often use:
send-hook ~A my_hdr from: Default Adderss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Then put specific hooks for when you want to use the other addresses:
send-hook ~C bob my_hdr from: Other Address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(this will set your mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending mail to: or cc:
`bob'). See the manual section on `my_hdr' for more information.
