Yes. When you use the ^ in your pattern, you're telling it to match 
the beginning of the address (the $ at the end tells it to match the 
end of the address). Thus ^@debian$ will ONLY match "@debian" and 
nothing else---it will not match samiel@debian, foo@debian or 
whydoesntthisstupidthingwork@debian either. ;)

If you use this hook instead:

     send-hook '~t @debian$' 'my_hdr From: Mutt User <samiel@debian>'

...then it WILL match all three examples I listed above, but will NOT 
match samiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (because the $ at the end is still 
there). Make sense?

For more details, read up on "regular expressions" (Google should have 
plenty of info).
