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.
When you previously clicked the link and sent mail, did you modify the
from address and/or account?
Yes, I had to modify the from address (which then corresponded to a
different account) to make sure it sent from the correct one.
I've noticed that
after sending a few messages to a certain address and editing my from
address, that MM starts automatically changing the from address of a
new blank message after I set the to address to that certain one.
Hmm, so maybe MM keeps a notion of the most recently used from address
to use when a new blank message is created.
Still, this is not the behavior I want. If I have an account/identity
with the same domain part as the To: address of the new message, I want
that identity chosen. Every time.
