This sounds like a great idea ? except that I almost invariably have a message selected in the message browser, and the likelihood that it happens to be from a mailing list that I want to write a new message to is miniscule. > And then I need to figure out an alternative approach to handle > creation of new messages using address aliases. I notice that the same behavior can be invoked via a contextual menu click on the list name/address when looking at a message already addressed to the list (e.g., `MailMate Users` and `<mailmate at lists.freron.com>`) ? perhaps that is sufficient? > I'll think about how to improve the default behavior.

I notice that the `From:` address is actually *not* being correctly derived for me, at least, in the case of this very e-mail list. It?s present and very clear as the only `X-Delivered-To:` header, but a different address is being automatically set as my `From:` address in this message that I?m typing now. My subscription address (which is also the `X-Delivered-To:` address) is, as with you, not in the account settings ? and since MailMate isn?t picking it up, I need to enter it by hand. --------- You?ve got great ideas here, I think. I can?t wait to see where it all goes! ? Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
