It is very normal to include the account mail address when in a

When you open an e-mail account, and have several available mail
accounts, you cna compose a new message, or reply to an existing
message, and change the sent mail address to one of the other account
addresses. But not when working in a newsgroup account.
If while in a newsgroup, I click Compose, a compose window opens, and is
pre-addressed to that newsgroup. But, I can change the address to "To",
and then the mail address book is active. Does that differ with what
you said above?
Anyway, I almost did it again. If I open Compose while in an email
account, and forget to address it, it is fail-safe; it goes nowhere. Do
that in a newsgroup account, and it goes somewhere, but not necessarily
where I want it to go. It seems that the system is trying to "help" me
by inserting the newsgroup address, but I would rather it didn't.
Well it seems to me that if you open a composition window and never
insert an addressee's name, the fault is in the wetware and not the
software.
But you're right that it would be safer if the composition window always
opened with addressee fields blank.
