folder-hook in my .muttrc doesn't work



Hello everybody,

it's the first time I'm posting a question here though I used to be a mutt
user for a longer time. As OS I'm using debian, 2.6.24-1-686; my Mutt works in 
mbox_type=Maildir mode and in conjunction with fetchmail, procmail and postfix.

Up to now I used a .muttrc-file which I found on the internet and it worked
rather fine. Now I'd like to intend to have some changes and try the 
configuration 
command "folder-hook" as follows:

folder-hook     +fanciulla/lisa       'set use_from=no'
folder-hook     +fanciulla/lisa       'unmy_hdr *'
folder-hook     +fanciulla/lisa       'my_hdr     From: thats-me@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
folder-hook     +fanciulla/lisa       'my_hdr       To: lisa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
folder-hook     +fanciulla/lisa       'my_hdr      Fcc: =fanciulla/lisa'
folder-hook     +fanciulla/lisa       'my_hdr Reply-To: 
thats-me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Hopelessly, it doesn't work. if I answer to an e-mail in this folder, I still 
allways 
have to correct some of the header fields. Though I set and unset a lot of 
other 
parameters of which I thought they could have an impact to folder-hook, mutt 
doesn't 
honor any of the desired parameters. 

The only command with a certain influence to the folder-hook command with
respect to the from: header field I found in the manual is the "use_from" 
command:

"When set, Mutt will generate the `From:' header field when sending
messages. If unset, no `From:' header field will be generated unless the
user explicitly sets one using the ``my_hdr'' command."

Where could be my mistake? Which command prevents mutt from taking over
the desired parameters?

Rudolf
