Re: [PATCH] emacs: Allow user to choose From address when composing a new message.

The only real concern I have with the series is that it grabs 'R' for reply-with-custom-from where I've been planning to implement 'R' as reply-to-sender-only, (a long-missing and often-requested feature). That would be nice indeed :) When I first started implementing the custom-from feature I planned to use a prefix argument to get the behavior (such as C-u m rather than M for compose-new-mail-with-custom-from). You might even see I've got some code written along those lines. Good idea, this will probably seem more natural for Emacs users. When I went to test it though, it didn't work. That was probably some silly mistake on my part, (we do already have working code that changes behavior with a prefix argument in the case of M-RET for example). If you want to update the series to move away from capital-letter keybindings in favor of a prefix argument, I'll be glad to accept it. Done and tested locally, seems OK so far. This makes the code smaller and IMHO nicer because it eliminates all the -prompt-for-sender variants. I'll send the updated patch series very soon.

The reason I really want to see this feature is because I always forget to change my from address depending on the context of my email. Given that's my issue, I will also always forget to use a different command to compose/reply. In other words, I think the real way to enable this feature should be via a customization variable. Either that, or I'll just modify my custom keybindings to always prompt when I just press the regular compose/reply keys.

By default the list of names/addresses to be used during completion will be automatically generated by the settings in the notmuch configuration file. The user can customize the notmuch-identities variable to provide an alternate list. Thanks, IMHO that's better than my previous solution. And it makes my .emacs smaller, woohoo! :) One little issue though: you did not update notmuch-show-mode-map in notmuch-show.el. I'll reply with a patch that fixes that (or you can just integrate it in your commit when pushing it). I'll also send a few additional patches that make it possible to choose the From address when forwarding a message and when replying to a message.
