In addition to what the others have said, be sure to set your alternates
variable to reflect all the email addresses you'll be using.  For
example:

$ grep alternates ~/.muttrc                                  
set alternates=".*@billjonas.com"

It's a simple regular expression.  The manual doesn't say much else.
You'd probably want to set it to something like
"you@isp.com|you@school.edu".  This is so that mutt will be able to do
things like tell you in the index display if a message was addressed to
you, keep your address out of a group reply, etc.
