I don't think it would; according to the documentation, the effect is to
override the setting of "from" in some circumstances, not to actually
_change_ it (temporarily or not).
Anyways, I found a work-around. The set of addresses I want to use in
this way is finite, and I already generate the part of my .muttrc
where they are relevant with a script. So I told the script to
generate another line per address, namely a reply-hook with a "~t
$ADDRESS" match and "set from=$ADDRESS" as the payload.
