Hello Michael,
Thank you for your reply; I had read about that send-hooks, but I am still
not sure they are the answer to my problem.
Part of the problem is solved rightaway by defining a default address with a
send-hook, but I don't wish to restrict the use of the second address to
messages sent to some (well-known) recipients; what I would really like to
do is to, when sending email, fill in the "From:" (and "Reply-to:") field
just like I do with the recipient and subject line. Or to have the option to
edit/change them in the send menu.
I mean, using a send-hook I can define the default address, but what can I do if I
suddenly wish to email someone using [EMAIL PROTECTED]? I never
emailed that person before, so I don't have a send-hook describing the
correct address to use...
Must I create *in advance* a send-hook for every single person I wish to email
from my non-default address?
Thank you for any further tips,
Manuel
