[Evolution] From field with replies
Hi, What determines which identity gets put in the From: field when replying to a message? I notice that sometimes it's not my default account id. Right now it looks like any reply (reply, reply to all, reply to list) picks a different ID in my account list rather than the default when I'm replying to any Ximian list (I filter these into a folder), but uses my default ID for other replies. Did evolution somehow remember what my default was when I created the folder these messages are saved in? How can I change it so it uses my new default ID? I did change the default since creating the folder. New messages seem to use the default OK. Thanks, John -- John S.

If I reply to mails to the address I use here, this address is used. If it came into one of my other two accounts, the matching one is chosen as the from. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

If someone sends mail to your [EMAIL PROTECTED] address, your reply will have that in the From:, even if your default account is [EMAIL PROTECTED] New messages always use your default identity, unless otherwise specified. -JT ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
Re: [Evolution] From field with replies
OK. This info helps me narrow down the behavior I think is strange. If I reply to a message where the To: field is one of my identities in the mail settings, then the From: will match that. What I notice is that if I'm replying and the To: is not one of my identities (e.g. the To: field is this mailing list), then it's not using my default ID but a different one that happens to be first in the list of 4 accounts, default is last. This account is also disabled. So it seems to me to make more sense to use the default ID in this case instead of another one on the list. If it does use the first on the list, there should be an easy way of reordering them. Does this mean that default account only applies to new messages? What other attributes (if any) does the 'default' account have except for the From: on new messages? Next question. Does the status 'enabled' or 'disabled' just turn on or off receiving mail or does it affect other things?

It just turns on or off receiving mail for that account. Jeff On Fri, 2001-10-19 at 19:52, John Weber wrote: > OK. This info helps me narrow down the behavior I think is strange.
