I tried to figure out something similar a while ago, but as far
as I can tell, there is no way to set headers based on a message
you are relpying to. A possible solution is a send-hook/macro
combination that sets the From: header:
send-hook . 'my_hdr From: me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
macro index \er 'my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED];<reply>'
macro pager \er 'my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED];<reply>'
This sets the default From to "me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" (set this
to your real values, of course), and then, when you want to reply
to something sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], do <esc>r instead of
just r.
This is untested, BTW, but I think it's basically sound.
