This is one of Mutt's most frequently asked questions. :-) The behaviour you describe is how hooks work, by design. In order to do what you need, you should have something like: send-hook . 'my_hdr From: Default From <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' send-hook blah 'my_hdr From: Malcolm Herbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' The hooks are 'executed' for every message, so you need to make sure that something will match for every message in the way you'd like. The first line I've given above sets a default, which can then be followed by one or more modifications - just one in this case. Does that make sense?
