Perhaps, send-hook doesn't work on the cl??  I have little experience
here as I usually use mail/nail in cron.  You might try "send2-hook"
instead.

At least you do have a workable solution  :^).

Most settings similar to "send-hook" and "my_hdr" are *persistent* and
unmy_hdr removes "my_hdr" conditions previously set.  Your usage is not
quite kosher, "send-hook . 'unmy_hdr'", ie:
  send-hook .
would remove *all* send-hook setting previously made, clean the slate.

I can agree with the need for more examples, but with anything posessing
the number of possible condiitons and their interaction with each other,
mutt does a very good job.

Maybe someone with more knowledge, Kile, Rocco, will join in and explain
why the send-hook is not working.
