Same with me;-)

[snipped the technical discussion...]

... but right now the only e-mail client that it the way you (and me;-)) consider 
optimal is Pegasus AFAIK;-) 

OTOH, I do not think this extra "which address would you use?" dialogue is a 
elegant deceision at all (you might believe me here, since I'm using it right 
now;-), that is, have some experience with it). There should be some other 
way of achieving the same result, not involving a pop up dialogue, but this 
needs to be thought over actually;-)
