Hmm, I do not yet use M as my main mail/news reader, and I don't think I'd have a need for multiple, global identities, but here is my take on how I would like it to work: I used many different email addresses, mostly of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] Replace the '*' with whatever, f.e. "mhgny". I routinely split my mail based on the envelope (destination) address. Sometimes I use different criteria. Now, when I want to reply or send a new message/article, it would be really nice if the MUA could *automatically* put my identity for the currently selected group into the header. It would also be nice if all "identities" and filters were in the same config file in human editable form because going through a GUI for more than a few groups is a royal pain. I am thinking of a config file with group headings followed by attribute:data pairs, f.e.: [Mahogany] FilterAccept: X-Envelope-To\: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Manfred Bartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Spook: Nuclear Atom Terrorist Bomb Anarchy Fcc: ~/Mail/Mahogany/ SigFile: ~/Mail/Mahogany/Signature.txt Unrecognised attribute names should be taken as additional, custom headers. It would also be cool if the MUA had a few registers (like memories in a calculator) which would automatically be loaded with certain, configurable fields from the currently selected message/article, f.e.: To, Cc, From, Envelope-To, Reply-To, Followup-To, Message-Id, bodytext. While composing a reply or a new message, I could then insert from the registers whatever field I need. Presumably, most of this can already be done in M (maybe with python), I have just not discovered all of it yet. :) -- Manfred ----------------------------------------------------------- No marsupial based products were used in this transmission. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
