The *usual* way that people do this is that two people don't share a 
single email account and client.

But for those that want to be able to toggle between return addresses 
(and/or signatures), the answer is usually to create a macro that will 
change all the necessary settings. For example:

macro compose <f1> "set signature=~/.mutt/wifesig; my_hdr From: 
<wife@address><enter>"
