Yes! It's called send-hook. I do exactly what you want to do, in my
.muttrc file I have:-
send-hook . 'my_hdr From: Chris Green <chris@xxxxxxxxxx>'
send-hook ~l 'my_hdr From: Chris G <cl@xxxxxxxx>'
The first send-hook sets my default From: address, the second one sets
my From: address for mailing lists set by a 'lists' directive later in
my .muttrc.
If you're not using the lists directive the second send-hook will need
a different way of matching the outgoing mail, look in the mutt manual
for the various ways of doing this.
