I usually use my_hdr to set the From: and also have reverse_name set, so this is untested. But you should be able to set a real name by using macro compose .c <edit-from><kill-line>Foo Bar\<[email protected]\><enter> I'm not sure about the escaped <>, though. For the rare case where I need to adjust the From: I have also have edit_headers set.
