If you use my_hdr in folder hooks at all, you probably need something
like this line, from my own .muttrc:

folder-hook . "unmy_hdr to from reply-to bcc newsgroups x-loosely-listed"

OK, it seems to get rather messy.

I think it may be easier to have a macro which

   Changes my_hdr
   Sends the message
   Changes my_hdr back

What I do is have a hooks file which runs other hooks files depending
on the folder:

My .mutt/hooks:

folder-hook 'imaps://domain/.*' source ~/.mutt/default
folder-hook =lists/* source ~/.mutt/listhook

My .mutt/default

my_hdr From: David Woodfall 
set sort=threads

My .mutt/listhook:

set collapse-all
set sort=threads
my_hdr From: David Woodfall 

The default file will set the header back after it has been changed in
the lists folder.

Can I use my_hdr from a macro?

[Chris Green]

I want to create a macro in 'compose'  which does something like the following:-

Set From: to something special
Send the message
Set From: back to the default

I can't quite see how to do this, how can one use my_hdr from a macro?
my_hdr isn't a function is it? ... or is it possible to just say
 in the macro definition?


Alternatively (but still needing a macro) I could do something that
works in index and pager and is a 'special' reply:-

Set From: to special address

Set From: back to default


So the question is basically how do I set my From: address in a macro?

Need some help with send-hook and folder-hook, their order in muttrc

[Chris Green]

I want messages sent from one particular folder to have a different
From: address.

Currently the only settings I have in my muttrc that affect the From:
address are:-

send-hook .  'my_hdr From: Chris Green '
...
...
send-hook ~l 'my_hdr From: Chris Green '


I use the c...@isbd.net address for all my mailing lists.


I'd like to make it so that when I'm in a particular folder (which
will probably be called 'cl') my From: address will also be
c...@isbd.net. 

So I need to add something like:-

folder-hook cl 'my_hdr From: Chris Green '

However I'm a little unclear what else I need, do I need something
like:-

folder-hook . 'my_hdr From: Chris Green '

and does it go before or after the specific 'cl one?  Plus, do these
two settings make the send-hook setting of my From: address redundant?
I still need the 'send hook ~l' one of course.
