Whoa, mh, there's a MUA for real men :). It was pretty much the first MUA I used on Unix systems when I first started Unix in the late '80s. Anyway, to answer your question, Pine (after version 4.0) has what I think you're looking for. It has this concept of a "role", allowing one to set up different return addresses, signatures, etc. Check it out at <http://www.washington.edu/pine>. Unfortunately, Pine isn't really in Debian due to some conflicts with its copyright, but it is easily compiled and installed. There is also someone (whose name escapes me) who has put it in a Debian package privately. Threads about Pine erupt periodically here, it seems to be one of those programs like emacs that beget a lot of passon, both pro and con. The current version is 4.21.
