No you didn't, it's me who was a bit tired yesterday and wasn't clear
enough, sorry.

To sum up, here is what I want to do:

you send me a private message to the address I use for this list and I
want to answer with this same address. I hit 'r' and actualy the From
header is not set to [email protected] but to my default address.

So here, if you send me a mail to [email protected], I would reply with
[email protected], that's correct? If so, it's not what I want. I want to
reply with [email protected]. 

What I don't understant is that since I have, say 5 different addresses,
me1, me2, ..., m25, I should write five different lines like the above
one? It seems awkward to me. Am I totally confused?

I hear that, I'll follow your advice (if I can).

Ah ok... but then what's the difference between them?
