I think we are at a double-edged sword here. I say that because I definitely want it the old way, but I can understand why people would not. The reason I say I would want it the old way is that I have a TON of account aliases to one account which I grab via an IMAP store. Now, when I go to reply to a mail in that store, the from is always the one address instead of figuring out which address the message is ACTUALLY sent to. But, at the same time, I could see how some people might want it another way.
I _HATE_ to say this, but any chance of making it a configuration option (since you said both sets of code are in there already)?
