reverse_name may help if you always want to reply using the 
address on which you received the message.

For more flexibility, you may want to unset reverse_name and look 
at reply-hook and/or send-hook and send2-hook instead, e.g.:

reply-hook  '.' 'set from = [your address when no match]
reply-hook  '~h @([-[:alnum:]_]+\.)*somedomain\.com' 'set from = ...'

and send-to counterparts:

send-hook   '! ~Q' 'set from = [your address when no match]
send-hook   '~t @([-[:alnum:]_]+\.)*somedomain\.com' 'set from = ...'
send2-hook  '~t @([-[:alnum:]_]+\.)*somedomain\.com' 'set from = ...'

This should do:

folder-hook '(mutt|R|fedora)' 'set ...'

Glad I can help.
