You may want to take another look, as I believe that's been fixed.
Here's an excerpt from `man muttrc(5)`:

#v+
reverse_name
        Type: boolean
        Default: no

        It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain
        machine, move the messages to another machine, and reply to some
        the messages from there. If this variable is set, the default
        From: line of the reply messages is built using the address
        where you received the messages you are replying to if that
        address matches your alternates. If the variable is unset, or
        the address that would be used doesn't match your alternates,
        the From: line will use your address on the current machine.
#v-

And from my .muttrc file:

#v+
set reverse_name # respond as the email address that received the mail
#v-

So, one option seems graceful to me. ;]

My biggest problem with Pine was the inability (when I tried it) to edit
received emails in place on an IMAP server (example: jokes, I'd edit
them to cut out all the cruft, then save them to my humor folder). It
wouldn't let you do it (that I remember, maybe you know how).
