What seemed to work for me was to add the following to my .muttrc
file (name and address changed to protect the .... paranoid?):

set from="my_real_address at myisp.com"
set realname="My Real Name Here"
set use_from=yes
set envelope_from=yes
set use_domain=no

If I remember right, after I made this change, sendmail started adding
a header to every outgoing message saying something like "warning!
this e-mail's From header may be fake!"  I was able to make it stop
by added appropriate username(s) to /etc/mail/trusted-users and
restarting sendmail.

Hope this helps.
