Well, as far as I've understood, the $from variable works practically
just like my_hdr From: with the only difference being that you can use
it with $reverse_name set. That is, $reverse_name takes precedence over
$from. With my_hdr From:, $reverse_name is overridden which is mostly
an undesired behaviour.
So depending on how you want to use regexp expressions this may or may
not help you. You can already use a variable From header address based
on recipient with send-hooks (or other hooks too), as in
send-hook (condition) my_hdr From: (name and address)
This brings my mind a question to "those who know", can I choose to
use $reverse_name in send-hooks? Ie. if I have
send-hook . set reverse_name; blah blah
send-hook '~t some@recipient' unset reverse_name; blah blah
Will something like that work? The idea is of course that I only want
$reverse_name to work for *some* of my email addresses. And
particularly, if someone happens to send me email at eg.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I want the reply to go out as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure if using send-hooks for
$reverse_name setting solves this problem, but it might help.
