... seems a little inelegant.  I found this in the manual:  

4.2.1.  Pattern Modifier

  Note that patterns matching 'lists' of addresses (notably c,C,p,P and
  t) match if there is at least one match in the whole list. If you want
  to make sure that all elements of that list match, you need to prefix
  your pattern with ^.  This example matches all mails which only has
  recipients from Germany.

       ^~C \.de$

... but maybe this doesn't work all the time?
interestingly, this works:

send-hook '^michelle\.murphy@utoronto\.ca' 'set 
signature=.mutt/sigs/signature_sweetie' 

but this doesn't: 

folder-hook . 'unhook send-hook ;  send-hook utoronto.ca "set signature=.mutt/s
igs/signature_official ; my_hdr From: Matthew Price <matt.price@xxxxxxxxxxx>" ;
send-hook "^michelle\.murphy@utoronto\.ca" "set signature=.mutt/sigs/signature_
sweetie ; my_hdr From: Matt <matt.price@xxxxxxxxxxx>"; set signature=/home/matt
/.mutt/sigs/signature_standard ; my_hdr From: Matt Price <matt.price@xxxxxxxxxx
a>' 
  
(sorry about the line breaks)

maybe something about the quotes?

Anyway, I need to put the kids to bed (!), so I have to quit, but if
you happen to see the answer...

thanks,

matt
