It took me a while to get to it since I was kind of afraid of ruby, but
I tried today and it seems to work like this:

if header["In-reply-to"] = nil
        if header["To"] =~ /talk|list|lists|linux|devel|user|daw/
                header["From"] = "Philipp Überbacher <hollunder@lavabit.com>"
        else
                header["From"] = "Philipp Überbacher <murks@lavabit.com>"
        end
end

Thanks a lot. I recommended sup today on my distros mailinglist and briefly showed it to some colleagues who had never seen something like it.

Regards,
Philipp
