} I have send-hooks which set a special From: for some recipients, too.
} I also have a default send-hooks unsetting my_hdr From: and I have
} $reverse_name set - works like charm.
} Please post your setup since I figure it's not mutt to blame here.

} To give you an example:

The crucial difference is the reflector. I have the following:

send-hook '((~f gss) | (~f [EMAIL PROTECTED])) (~C @)' 'my_hdr Reply-To: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
send-hook '((~f gss) | (~f [EMAIL PROTECTED])) (~C @)' 'my_hdr From: Gregory 
Seidman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'

(Note the the NOSPAM is simply to avoid email from spammers scraping the
archives.)

This basically says that anything coming from me and being sent to any
address with an @ in it (i.e. not on the local cluster) should set the
Reply-To and From fields.

It looks like the solution may be to set $from to the reflector and use a
hook to set From to the local address for local mail. Is there any other
way? I'd *really* like a pattern for whether reverse_name has found
something or not.
