from
Type: e-mail address
Default: “”
When set, this variable contains a default from address. It
can be overridden using “my_hdr” (including from a “send-hook”)
and $reverse_name. This variable is ignored if $use_from is
unset.
This setting defaults to the contents of the environment variable
$EMAIL
Since this is a mutt variable, you can set it with
set from="googly.negotiator...@aceecat.org"
right after you set the my_hdr from.
