I have send-hooks which set a special From: for some recipients, too.
I also have a default send-hooks unsetting my_hdr From: and I have
$reverse_name set - works like charm.
Please post your setup since I figure it's not mutt to blame here.
To give you an example:
set alternates = "(Michael.Tatge|michael_tatge)"
set realname="Michael Tatge"
set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
set use_from # create From: Header
set reverse_name # use given To: as From: when
# replying
set envelope_from
## send-hooks
send-hook . 'unmy_hdr From:'
# If sending to localhost or LAN:
send-hook '(~t knecht | ~t mydomain | ~t localhost)' \
'my_hdr From: Michael Tatge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
HTH,
Michael
