Yeah same thing used to happen to me in terms of sending out email to a list or some such using a different account than I intended. I have figured out a way around that though that forces me to explicitly have to choose which account to send email from. Create an account (identity) but a fake one that does not send email out or receive it at all. Fill in the email address as something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Make it your default account. Then create seperate accounts for each of your mailing lists. Name them after your lists. So for example I have one called "Evolution List" with appropriate Reply To: filled out with the list address. Under the receiving tabs choose None for Server Type. Fill in the SMTP outgoing server info so that this account can email out but not receive. Disable the account (which will prevent Evolution from using it when it checks for email). Then create a couple or more accounts for your normal emailing with full receiving and sending information. When you create a new email the default [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address shows up. Since you cannot email out through it you will not send an email accidentally to anyone out of the wrong account since you will realize your mistake and be forced to select an email address when you see your email remaining in the Outbox (I thiink Evolution also warns you). And when you choose to use a real account you will easily see which account to use because they will be named after each list that you are subscribed to. I did all that when I started to get confused as to what address I had subscribed to what list with.
