As it has been suggested earlier, a common way to handle this is the
reply-hook. I would like to elaborate on this a bit, since you mentioned
custom headers per identity:
I'm using a profiles.rc file as a dispatcher for all identities
(reply-hooks and shortcuts to toggle between identities) and as a fix
point to include from muttrc.
Each identity is a separate rc file which is then source'd.
An example identity could look like this in the profiles.rc:
macro index <Esc>1 '<enter-command>source
~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc<enter>'
macro compose <Esc>1 '<enter-command>source
~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc<enter><edit-from><kill-line>current-from<enter>'
reply-hook '~C ^per...@example.com$' 'source
~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc'
That'll enable the <Esc>1 shortcut in both index and compose to switch
to profile 1. In compose it will also set the from accordingly (using a
alias that's set inside the 1.rc).
The 1.rc might look like this:
source ~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/clear.rc
set from="per...@example.com"
set realname="Example Person"
alias current-from per...@example.com (Person)
set pgp_sign_as = ...
set crypt_autosign = ...
set record = +sent-mail
set postponed = +drafts
set trash = +dustbin
clear.rc is a generic "blank profile" that resets all values so make
sure that profiles don't bleed into each other.
And from then on you can just add all the values that you want to have
set in this identity.
As you can see, you can even set the folders for sent mail, postponed
messages and the trash.
Hope this helps!
