First, you shouldn't just reply to any old email and start a new thread.
That is a Very Bad Thing and will get you heartily flamed.  You've been
warned :-)

Hello!

Hmmm...  There's probably a theoretical way to do that, but ...

... what you really want is to set your $alternates variable to recognize
any addresses you may have and then set $reverse_name to tell mutt to
reply using the address to which the message was sent.  Voila!

No, it's definitely a mutt thing, and in fact mutt does it better than
just copying some header.  If you haven't yet read the manual, get a can
or two of Jolt, put your feet up, and dig in.  If you have read it all
and somehow missed this, then just go through section six and review all
of the variable synopses.  While you're at it, check out the lists and
subscribe commands so that mutt can properly set your Mail-Followup-To:
header for you.
