In a separate file I keep a bunch of mailing list send-hooks something
like the following that is sourced into ~/.muttrc :

send-hook 'mutt-users at mutt.org' 'my_hdr From: "Jon LaBadie" <mutter at jgcomp.com>'

Depending on the mailing list I may also have a similar line for
the Reply-To: header and a "set signature=..." to specify a unique
signature file.
