Bringing up this old issue, as I just almost did something rather
embarrassing due to this "derived from context" setting not working as
I expect. Comments inline.

Hi, if I click on an external mailto: link to compose a new message
in MM, the chosen From address is not right (or not what I think it
should be).
For example, I'm clicking on a link to send an email to
[email protected]. One of my accounts is also with
companyZ.com, but the chosen From address is not from that account,
but from my comcast account.
Deriving from context has some issues (or lacks a sufficient level of
flexibility in its settings), but it's not really supposed to handle
a case like this.
In that case, can you please explain exactly what "derived from
context" actually does? In my scenario above, there is no context in
the message that would lead MM to choose my comcast account as the
From address. In fact, there's no context at all, except that mailto:
URL I clicked.
Oddly, today this problem no longer reproduces for me. I'm running the
same version of MM (r5698) as yesterday. I click the same mailto: link
(from the Slack App in case it matters) I did yesterday, and today a
compose window opens with the expected "companyZ.com" From: address
selected.

It doesn't try to use the domain name to derive
anything. I'll note your problem to keep it in mind when I try to
improve this feature, but if you consider the case where the domain
name is, e.g., `gmail` then you might see that it's not a
straightforward thing to handle. Some company domains are not really
company domains.
But in my case (as I expect in many other cases) it isa 1:1 mapping,
and that's exactly the behavior I want.
If this isn't the appropriate semantics of the "derived from context"
option, then can you please add a new option that explicitly tries to
match based on the domain part of the email address?
Thanks.
