Assumed the OP wants to use IMAP.
I prefer to use Evolution with it's integrated POP/SMPT support and I
hope the Evolution developers some day will seriously care about
POP/SMPT and remove all the annoyances. In worst cases I use an editor
and sent mails with msmtp. It's possible to use msmtp with Evolution
instead of Evolution's thingy, but I don't do that.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /usr/bin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Mar 18 05:22 /usr/bin/sendmail -> msmtp
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat .msmtprc
# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
# Alice
account spinymouse
host out.alice-dsl.net

user ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net

Writing a mails with an editor does look like this:
To: evolution-list@gnome.org
From: ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net
Subject:Re: [Evolution] Many mails never reach the recipients -
Evolution 3.10.4
In-Reply-To: <1392956909.682.141.camel@archlinux>
Currently I write mails with an editor and send mails, e.g. this
one by
$ cat .msmtp.mail/evolution.reply.1.mail | msmtp -a default
evolution-list@gnome.org
[snip]
If I reply to a mailing list mail I received using Evolution, I take a
look at the mail's header to copy the "In-Reply-To" line, but for other
mails the header only needs "To", "From" and "Subject".
