It's the other way 'round (look at your ' and "):

reply-hook '~h "Delivered-To: +mygmailid\\+keyword at gmail\.com"''my_hdr From: emailid at otherdomain.com'

Your problem is the pattern-matching, which is wrong at several places. You
won't get any errormessage from mutt parsing your .muttrc, because
what you do is valid , but it doesn't do what you expect it to do.

Look at my string, which is tested with the latest mutt-1.5.21 from
the developers hg-repository (since I've rewritten small parts of the
routines in sendlib to fit my needs). You'll see what you did wrong and then
you can look up the items here:

(I've been using mutt since it has been forked from ELM, and have
still some difficulties doing correct pattern-matching...)

Hope this helps!
