Sorry, they don't, in this case, at least. The From: address is still a
combination
of my username and PC's hostname.

Ok, I removed the folder-hooks which can't be preset by me and are
indeed unnecessary. Instead I added as you suggested:
folder-hook +fanciulla/lisa 'set record="=fanciulla/lisa"'
But Mutt gives me still back: '=lisa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' instead of
'=fanciulla/lisa'.

I'm entering the folder 'fanciulla/lisa' in order to answer a message
there by 'r' or ',a'.

Yes, therefore I commented all other lines which have something to do with
'lisa'
or '=fanciulla/lisa'. It seems to help nothing.
Any additional ideas?
Kyle, many thanks for your answer with the explanations!
