Cool! I don't manage multiple mailboxes, but I sometimes change my "real name" in the header. For that, I've set up a bunch of commands that are basically
repl -form <form-with-different-real-name> I have a bunch of form files as well. That requires that I have a message to reply to, which is usually the case. But even when I'm composing a message, I always have at least 1 message in my inbox (sigh), so I just delete the In-reply-to: stuff from the header. Yes, I have to edit the To: and Subject: fields, but I would need to do that anyway. Just a different set of editor keystrokes. Pretty low-rent.
