title: Change sender's address in mutt via console
body: <p>I want to dynamically set the sender's address when using mutt via console (not composing). I checked everything which is described, tried everything from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12158201/how-to-change-the-senders-name-or-e-mail-address-in-mutt" title="this SO question">this SO question</a> but nothing works. There is no change at all, no matter what I do.
  I set </p>
  
  <pre><code>set from="sender@help.me"
  set edit_headers=yes
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in both the /etc/Muttrc and ~/.muttrc, also, I tried all sort of -e commands, like</p>
  
  <pre><code>-e "set from=email@example.com"
  -e 'my_hdr From:sender@help.me'
  -e "send-hook . 'my_hdr From: Other Name &lt;otheremail\@example.com&gt;'"
  having export EMAIL=sender@help.me  in front
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I will always receive mails from username@compname.de</p>
  
  <p>A typical call looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>export EMAIL="sender@help.me" &amp;&amp; echo | mutt -s "VERSANDTEST" -c "mycc@help.me"  -e 'my_hdr From:sender@help.me' -a /opt/data/YoloDat.txt /opt/data/TroloDat.txt  -- "myaddress@help.me"  &lt; /tmp/mailbody
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any more ideas appreciated</p>
