% My .muttrc file:
% 
% set from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% 
% (yes, so far it's just one line)

If you want to do it on just one line, you'll have to replace that with

  my_hdr From: Brett Sanger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

to force the header into place.


% 
% Yet when I send messages, the preview after editing shows the From: field
% is blank, and when I receive, I get the ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that is the
% default (I don't know if that is mutt or exim filling that in though)

If you don't mind *doubling* the line count of your muttrc (here's hoping
you have a big screen, right?), you could add

  set use_from

in there instead.
