send-hook is the right approach, I guess.

I never used ``my_hdr'' directive maybe someone who used it can help you here

Maybe, but I have a more straightforward way:
E.g. for this mailing list:

	send-hook neomutt-users at neomutt.org 'set from=nmutt at jikken.de'

This also worsk with "Username <account at domain.tld>", e.g.:
	send-hook wireguard at lists.zx2c4.com 'set from=inrin <inrin at jikken.de'

In my examples I did not use pattern directives, but I use them in save-hooks, so this
should work.
