>From the stock .muttrc in debian:

# set from=""
# Name: from
# Type: e-mail address
# Default: ""
# 
# 
# When set, this variable contains a default from address.  It
# can be overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and
# ``$reverse_name''.
# 
# Defaults to the EMAIL environment variable's content.

So, for you@xxxxxxxxxxx, do:

set from="you@xxxxxxxxxxx"
