When you use my_hdr, that only sets up the headers for new messages, 
so it only works on the "current" message if you trigger it just 
before the message is created (i.e. via send-hook).

What you would need to do instead is use the <edit-reply-to> function. 
The only problem with this is that there's no way of preventing the 
send2 hook from creating an infinite loop. Once you change the message 
via <edit-reply-to>, all the send2-hooks will get re-evaluated and 
potentially re-triggered, which could cause trouble.

For example, this would cause an infinite loop:

     send2-hook '~C helpdesk@mycompany' \
         '<edit-reply-to><kill-line>helpdesk@mycompany<enter>'

Now, you CAN do this if you create a kind of shortcut, like so:

     send2-hook '~C fixhelpdesk' \
         
'<edit-cc><kill-line>helpdesk@mycompany<enter><edit-reply-to><kill-line>helpdesk@mycompany<enter>'

Thus, set your CC to fixhelpdesk, and mutt will alter the CC and the 
reply-to. The reason that works is because after you change the 
message, the hook won't trigger again.
