The proper way to do this with mutt is using the $alternates and
$reverse_name variables, see the manual.
And a better way to handle the envelope FROM is to set the $envelope_from
variable. This will make mutt handle passing -f to your "sendmail", and
seems to work on bounced messages as well as any others.
