I'm not sure exactly what you want mutt to do for you. You can play
with setting $spoolfile, $folder, or define some macros to switch
between these folders.

I'm no expert on the parsing engine, but I think mutt makes two
expansion passes over these strings. You might want to try something
like \\{host2.com\\} and see if you have better results. BTW mutt 1.1
has a variable $from which you may wish to use instead of my_hdr, ie:
folder-hook \\{host2.com\\}INBOX "set from='Bradley M Alexander
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'"
