I solved it like this:
procmail rewrites the original X-Original-To header into X-Label.
This is accessible in .muttrc as %y, so .muttrc adds a custom header to
each out-going message Sent-To: %y, and sets 'edit_headers' to yes.
Then my editor wrapper script reads Sent-To, converts that in to From:
and everybody is happy.
It's a lot of work, but it works just fine.
I mostly use it when some site nags about an email address, to register
or something. I give out long emailaddresses at my own domain, but in
rare cases, I want to respond using
why_did_you_ask_this_email_address_i_dont_want_to_be_spammed@mydomain
which can be solved as written above.
It would be mutt's way of doing things, I suppose, to make the header
from which %y is filled configurable.
Hope this helps,
