Why use send-hook when it's only for replying to messages? When I'm in
my default inbox and I hit 'm', I get the correct address.

I have already read that, I suppose I didn't express myself very
well, please forgive me. My first idea was something like :

reply-hook '~t ^...@foo.bar$' 'set from="m...@foo.bar"'

but this doesn't work, I still get my default address in the From:
header. And if it worked, I then should have to add as many lines as
email addresses I have, only changing me1 with me2 and so forth, and
this seems strange to me.                                                       
                                                                              

Then I tried:

reply-hook '~t ^...@foo.bar$' 'my_hdr From: m...@foo.bar'

same thing. I'm missing something but I don't know what.


Help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
s.
