As far as I'm aware, 'set from=..' and 'my_hdr From ..' serves the same
purpose.

I do not use IMAP directly.  I use OfflineIMAP to sync to a maildir in
my home directory.  I also use one SMTP (gmail) with different from
addresses to reply to my emails from different accounts.  Gmail lets you
do this once you have authenticated that these alternate from addresses
are indeed yours.

The idea about using another screen window sounds intriguing.  I'll play
with this.

That might help actually.  Of course only if it is not too much trouble :).
