I just posted this to comp.mail.mutt but I don't think all that many people
read the newsgroup, especially the developers.

I'm doing some tricky things with send-hooks to set the From: and Reply-To:
fields based on the outgoing email address (mainly for mailing lists). This
works great, but it means I also need the following two lines:

send-hook '.' 'unmy_hdr Reply-To:'
send-hook '.' 'unmy_hdr From:'

In addition, I have a similar pair of lines (which come after the lines
above but before all the send-hooks for mailing lists) which set the From:
and Reply-To: to a reflector when sending mail outside my organization.

Given that setup, essentially every mail to any address outside my
organization gets a custom From: and Reply-To: field. The problem is that I
want reverse_name to supersede all send-hooks. If I send something to a
mailing list with a particular address and receive a personal reply from
someone, I want my reply to be sent out with the same address I use to send
to the mailing list. This is what reverse_name is all about. Unfortunately,
the person I am sending to will almost certainly be outside my organization
and, therefore, match the send-hooks that set the fields to the reflector,
overriding what reverse_name would have done for me.

I can't find anything in the documentation to fix this. I suppose the
simplest thing would be a ~something which would match if reverse_name had
set something, but no such thing seems to exist.

Any ideas?
