I have a question that has been asked many times, but I don't think it
really has been answered:

When replying to a mail how can I set the From: header line so that it
corresponds to the To: address of the mail I am replying to?  So far it's
easy (reverse_name and set_from), but when _not_ replying, I want to use
From: headers that correspond to the recipient of the new mail.

Here is an example:
When I write a new mail to the mutt-mailinglist I want From: to be:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But when I get a mail from someone who sent it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I want From: to be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I tried it this way:
 send-hook '~C mutt-'   'my_hdr From: Andy Spiegl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
but then reverse_name doesn't work.
So I tried:
 send-hook '~C mutt-'   'set from="Andy Spiegl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"'
but then from is set for the next mail, not for the current one. *argh*

How did you guys solve this dilemma?

Thanks a lot in advance,
 Andy.
