Hi. To set your reply address you can put in a my_hdr line like this:

my_hdr From: my full name <my_address at dom.ain>

Notice the capital F in From:. I'm not sure what the problem is with the 
mailcap entry. I don't have one set at all in my local .muttrc but I 
confess I have not looked at my global one in a very long time since 
things on this Fedora box wsorked pretty much out of the box.

OK, just looked at my /etc/Muttrc blobal muttrc file and the mailcap set 
is not set so I'm not sure why yours was.  Below I include my .muttrc 
file with notes. Feel free to use it if you like.

If one of the settings does not make sense you can look it up in the 
mutt manual which gives a detailed and easy to read explanation on what 
the actual setting is.
