Hi dear fellow alpine users,
I'm trying to refine my roles a bit and am not really sure if what I want can
be achieved in some way with what we have or if this message of mine is
rather something like a feature request.
In order to use say emails like myemail+TAG@domain when subscribing to some
newsletter or service, I'm currently having a handful of roles, one per
service(TAG).
But by doing so, for each new service I have to define a new role, which is
rather tedious.
When I get an email that has the +TAG in the To: header, I switch to the
respective role when replying and then things are fine.
But that requires attention - and often enough, especially if I'm in a hurry,
I forget about selecting the proper role and end up sending the mail with my
regular, untagged FROM address.
Ideally, I'd wish that whenever there's a '+TAG' in the TO: header of a
message that reaches my Inbox, my replies would automatically use the
received TO: header as FROM: for the new mail.
Can this be achieved easily, am I just missing the proper way to do it?
I have set
copy-to-address-to-from-if-it-is-us
and
alt-addresses=email.*@domain
(I use email.TAG@domain,
not sure whether the . and + are magic in this case).
For some newsletters this works, but or others it does not.
