If I understand correctly, you are misusing both account-hooks and
"my_hdr From:". For your needs you should use folder-hooks and $from.
Try something like that:
| reset use_from # it's unset by Debian /etc/Muttrc
| set [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| set realname="Bryan Richter"
| folder-hook . "set [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
| folder-hook ucdavis "set from=davisaddress"
| folder-hook iradeon "set from=iradeonaddress"
Though there might exist a more Debianized way to set a default
address: Hopefully a guru will tell us. And the regexes are dangerously
too lax: Bad example.

Well, account-hooks are triggered when they are needed (access,
reconnect, check for new mail of other folders, ...), at not really user
predictable moments. Apparently inconsistent behaviours may seem to be
observed. I use account-hooks only for $pop_authenticators, $pop_pass,
$imap_pass, and such, and it works very well.
Bye! Alain.
