Are you using the my_hdr option to set the from line and any other
headers that you want to use?
There is also the set from= option as well.  Mine is set
from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and it gets set w/o a problem.

For Organiazation and things here are some examples:

        # Attention: !!! No comments in the (un)my_hdr lines !!!
        #unmy_hdr *             
        #my_hdr Organization: Wonderland
        #my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They are commented sections of my .muttrc file that I used to get me
started. :)
