But replying, such as to this list, requires in Mail and Gmail that

willy-nilly there, while Gmail asks you to confirm the address, maybe
to foil spammers). But in both cases, it has to be set up. It would be
very convenient to simply allow Letters to use the incoming address as
the from and reply address.
Honestly, I think this is not a very good idea.
I don't know. But having the From: freely editable might be an
option. On the other hand we're enabling widespread email forgery.
Should we care?
I just joined the list, so apologies if I'm rehashing old stuff. I'm
not aware of a wiki, Google Docs, Google Code or SF page that
outlines the entire feature set for Letters.app - is there one?
Automatically setting the From: address in replies based on the
incoming address of the original message is absolutely necessary.
Configuring a selection of addresses in the prefs is fine, but it's
obviously nice to be able to edit it directly. I see no reason not
to - it's not like preventing it in the UI is going to prevent
spammers from forging addresses. The only issue (IMO) is if it
becomes a source of user error - but our target market here is "Power
Email Users" anyway - so allow editing.
