With reverse_name, when you reply to an e-mail, mutt automatically
sets your "From:" address to whatever e-mail the original sender used
to get the mail to you. If someone e-mails to your private account,
your reply will have set "From" to your private account. If someone
e-mails to your university account, your reply will have set "From" to
the uni account.
send-hooks and folder-hooks can catch a lot, but sometimes they don't.
For example, I have my university address as the default "from:"
address. But I'm also active in a cycling organisation, and if someone
with whom I've never exchanged email before sends a message to me at
that address, no hook will match, but I'd still like the reply to
originate from the cycling address, not the uni address. Currently, I
have to set this manually (using a macro).
