I think you'd have to do it with a vim macro and set edit_headers=yes in
mutt.  mutt isn't really equipped for the degree of customizability and
interactivity that you want.

It would be fairly easy to code the vim macro, though; once vim finds a
certain address in the To: field it could prompt the user and modify the
header accordingly.
