Yes, pattern operators will be matched against the message you are
replying to.

They will be matched using the order specified in your muttrc, so you
should apply default settings first, and then more specific overrides
afterwards:

  reply-hook ~A 'unset bar'                 # Default bar off
  reply-hook '~t ^cl at xxxx\.net$' 'set bar'  # Except for this address
