This is the intented behavior. If you want to set a default From:
header use $realname and $from.
You can use send-hooks with my_hdr From:, too. In this case you nedd a
default send-hook where any userset From: header will be removed first.

I have this settings in my muttrc:

# Configure From:
set realname="Michael Tatge"
set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
set use_from                            # create From: Header
set reverse_name                        # reply with the address the
                                        # message was send to
set envelope_from                       # use MTA -f From: Header

send-hook . 'unmy_hdr From:'            # remove user created From:

send-kook '~C some.guy@some_host' 'my_hdr From: me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'


If I reply to a message from some.guy@some_host always
me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is used regardless of the adresse I received to
original message was send to.
In all other cases reverse_name will work.

I don't see no reason for a macro here. :)

Well, you have the manual. That's all you need.
