Only unset it if you really need to (i.e. you find that mutt 
misbehaves otherwise). *Most* folks should ignore that setting.

If you haven't set pgp_sign_as, then yes, the return address (and from 
field) is what mutt uses.

On a per-message basis, you can change it, of course. To have it 
happen automatically, I'd unset pgp_autosign (and similar) in your 
macro, or `push` the commands to unset it on the compose screen. You 
can even do it in a send hook. Here's what I do:

send-hook '~G !^%C pgp' 'push <pgp-menu>f'
