It's what I'm also using.

If there is no global "from" key in msmtprc, i.e. every "from" instance
is grouped under an "account" stanza, it will use From: to select the
first matching account also, without --read-envelope-from.

Hi,


A more mutt-like solution could be to use send-hooks to set the
$sendmail variable every time the From: header of an email changes.
msmtp accepts the account to be used on the command line as -a $account,

 send-hook "~f o...@example.com" 'set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp -a a"'
 send-hook "~f t...@example.com" 'set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp -a b"'


Having just been looking at a similar problem it might better to use

set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp --read-envelope-from"

Which removes the need to specify an account completely with msmtp so long as 
it can find a matching from address in you msmtp config.
