I'm no expert for this, but once you happen
not to have the same "To:" to be used as "From:", what should mutt
do, i.e. there is no check whether all tagged msgs contain the same
and _only_ 1 of your alternates?
What should happen if 2 of your alternates are in the recipients?
The special case that it indeed is only the same 1 ... needs a patch.
Therefore not bug, but missing feature.
Are you sure it isn't just picking the 1st reverse_name rather than a
default (which might be the same as your default so you can't notice)?
Use a completely different addr from the alternates as your default.
If that is the case, then you must pay attention to tag'em in the
right order.
