Don't know about the only showing your first name part, but "set
alternatives" lets you specify a regex and any address which matches
it will be considered to be your address. Then "set
reverse_name=yes" and mutt will use the address the mail was received
at (provided it matches the alternatives regex) as the From: address
on replies. I see there's also a reverse_realname option, but I
don't know how much good that will do you.

I see in man muttrc:
realname
... Note that this variable will not be
used when the user has set a real name in the $from
variable.
Might that be why it's not working for you?
