If you have multiple accounts in Lion Mail and if you receive an email that has more than one of those accounts in the recipient list, what's the algorithm Lion Mail uses to determine which email address will be used when replying? Sure, you can choose from the FROM: popup, but Mail will automatically choose an address.
I think in the past (Leopard, SL?), it would choose the FIRST email account in the recipient list of the incoming email. But I'm not sure that is true anymore. I can't test it because I have just one account. I'm trying to help a friend solve a problem: He and his wife share the same USER account on their iMac, but they each have their own separate MobileMe (now iCloud) accounts. If an incoming email is addressed to both of them, and when they reply, they often end up using the other person's email address in the reply. They haven't gotten in the habit of checking the FROM address nor selecting an address from the FROM popup. I've suggested they either check the FROM popup each time when replying, or they set up individual user accounts on the their computer to keep their email separate. Anybody know how Mail determines what address to use when replying if you have several accounts and if you receive an email with some or all of those accounts in the recipient list?
