I don't have exactly the same setup, but I do select a 'profile'
depending on what folder I'm in. I set up each profile in it's own
file, like so:
set realname="Tim Gray"
set from="tg...@address.com"
set use_from=yes
set signature=~/.mutt/signatures/signature1
set use_envelope_from=yes
color status black magenta
The other profiles look similar, just with different signature files
or froms. Then, set a hook like so (doesn't have to be a
folder-hook, it could be a reply or send hook):
folder-hook work "source ~/.mutt/profiles/work_profile"
The key for me was to have this at the *top* of the other hooks:
folder-hook .* "source ~/.mutt/profiles/default_profile"
Basically, for *every* folder you enter, a profile needs to be
sourced, otherwise you'll be stuck with the leftovers of some
previous profile. The above hook sources the default profile for
every folder that doesn't have a hook defined.
I tried this since I too have been looking for a solution to this kind
of problem. However, I am getting only partial success. I can tell it's
sourcing the profiles as I move between folders because the color of the
status bar changes, but it's not setting the From: or the signatures
that I have specified.
