Sorry, I'll clarify...

For example, when I hit reply to this, I have an identity
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" setup, so it is auto-selected as the "From"
address.

However, if I didn't have the identity setup in my preferences, it would
be cool if it would be in a drop-down list along with my other
preferences.

So, if I receive mail at, say, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]," but I don't have
that e-mail address setup as one of my identies, it would be a "nice to
have" to have it populated in the "From" drop-down along with my other
identies, so I can choose to, easily, reply as the address I've received
mail as.  Obviously, this would be restricted to a "reply" portion of
compose only.

I've looked through the code and it appears to match on an identity index.
 I must be over-looking something, though... where does it get the "To"
address so that when you reply, it knows what e-mail address to check
against identities?  And then, would there be a painless way to add the
address that's be checked for into that list?

And I suppose if one didn't have advanced identities at all, they would
get a drop-down with their default and the address that the email they're
replying to was sent to.  Is that more clear?

BTW, I've been reading this list for some time... Paul and the others, you
have the patience of saints, I tell you!
Thanks for the great software and help. 8)
