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. B-)
