Yeah, someone else quoted that to me before I posted, but I didn't see
it in the man pages.

This seems to have a nasty effect if I start composing an email and
then decide to cancel it.  (The pushed key presses get sent to the
folder index.)  If I could fix that I'd be happy.

I also have

  set realname="Matthew R. Dempsky"
  set from="mrd@xxxxxxxxxxx"
  set use_from
  set envelope_from
  set reverse_name=yes

(and a bunch of alternatives) in my .muttrc to use mrd@xxxxxxxxxxx by
default.  I only want to use matthew.dempsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when
sending email to school faculty/staff.

I tried using

  send-hook ... 'set from=matthew.dempsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

but that sets the from address for all future emails and not the
current one.  Is there a different way you had in mind?

Thanks.
