Actually, I already have that set up, so I CAN get the drop down list... > In fact, the address used will default to the one the message was sent > to, if recognizable (the problem we were discussing comes out when it's > not recognizable, as in mailing lists). Well, like someone else pointed out, that doesn't work on mailing lists, for instance. Plus, sometimes, I just want to send out a new message (not a reply) and have it come from the right address for the folder I'm working in without me having to consciously remember to go up and change it with the drop down box. In my current xfmail setup, if I'm in the folder that defaults to the alternate address and click on "new message", it uses the correct address by default. I know, I know - I'm lazy! But I'm an Engineer, so what do you expect? O:) > Plus, you can define filters to sort incoming messages into different > folder according to the To:/Cc: field or the message. Yep. Already doing that part. Splitting them is easy. Just getting that default From is what I'm after right now. :) > With these two steps, I believe you'll have all the functionalities you > need. Well, all I NEED is a working e-mail program that receives and sends mail. What I WANT is a different matter entirely. O:) It's obviously not a super critical item or anything, but I saw that someone else was talking about it also and I just wanted to add in a "me too" in the hopes it might get the feature at least put on the "wish list" to maybe be added some day.
