set email address used in From: line in replies

My email address is not the same as my login id.
Is there a parameter in .muttrc that I can set
to specify the From: address in replies?

Thanks.

Have you checked man muttrc? There is a "from" variable. Put
something like this in your .muttrc:

set from username@emailaddress.invalid

From the man page:

from
Type: e-mail address
Default: “”

When set, this variable contains a default from
address. It can be overridden using my_hdr (including from
send-hooks) and “$reverse_name”. This variable is
ignored if “$use_from” is unset.

Defaults to the contents of the environment
variable EMAIL.

Somewhere, something must have gone wrong.
