Hi Ken,
I think I have a solution for you, a hybrid of the two options. I just
tried it out myself, and it seems to work well for me. First set up your
list of email addresses, like in the longer configuration.
(setq mu4e-user-mail-address-list '("[email protected]"
"[email protected]"))
Then add the following hook:
(add-hook 'mu4e-compose-pre-hook
(defun my-set-from-address ()
"Set the From address based on the To address of the original."
(let ((msg mu4e-compose-parent-message)) ;; msg is shorter...
(setq user-mail-address
(cond
((and msg
(mu4e-message-contact-field-matches msg :to
"[email protected]"))
"[email protected]")
(t (completing-read "Compose with account: "
mu4e-user-mail-address-list
nil t nil nil (car
mu4e-user-mail-address-list))))))))
That should give the behavior you're looking for.
