I'm in a similar boat.
I subscribe to mailing lists with different e-mail addresses,
e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.
qmail kindly inserts a "Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
header in all my incoming mail, so procmail sorts it effortlessly
into the right folder.
When I send a reply to the mailing list, I'd like my From:
address to be set to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Right now, I do this manually. My options are:
1) Have procmail & formail re-write the headers to create a To:
header.
2) Create folder-hooks for all my mailing lists
3) Modify the source to have $alternates to look at a different
header.
(1) can be done.
(2) would be much easier (and cooler) if folder-hooks could have
backreferences. e.g.:
folder-hook list/([a-z]*) 'set from list-\[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Backreferences would also be really neat for using a folder
hook to get xterm to show the current folder.
