Yeah. This would take care of the ambiguities I was mentioning in the thread "From field with replies" from last Friday.

This feature has been requested on the list before, but I'm not sure if there's a request in bugzilla. Maybe one of the Ximian people can chime in. If it's not there, it's worth adding, because I think it would be nice as well.

I get the point about no wishlists for 1.0. If it's not on bugzilla I'll look into adding it to the database. I've realised it could be even better: why not per-folder default To (or CC) addresses as well. For example, if you click on the "evolution" folder and then click "New Message" your correct "From" address would be filled out and the correct "To" mailing list address as well! This could also be useful for non-mailing list corresponence (e.g. say you (automatically) file Bob's emails in the folder "Bob". If you clicked on that folder then any "New Message" would be sent to Bob). Thanks for the info Rich that this was a feature in Mutt.

A good place for the selection item could be a right mouse > click on a particular folder called "Default Account..." This is actually in KMail. KMail has a concept called "identities" and you can associate a default identity with a folder. You can also associate a default posting address with each folder, so you can, for example, right click a folder and post to the default list for that address. It works fairly well. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
Re: [Evolution] Per-folder feature idea (that would just happen tofit me perfectly :-)
Perhaps a simple way to do this is Filters on outgoing mail. Mostly power users would want this, and the ability to munge headers might be handy for a number of reasons. I am thinking of a filter like this: If (TO:|CC:) ~= [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ then set FROM: = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" This is not quite the same thing (when a mailing list changes host names, it might fubar this). This might actually be easier then a per list identity. It might also slow outbound messages. It does leave a few places to completely fubar your mail :) -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

That could get confusing, because you have no indication at the time you're writing the message that the From will be changed. And what if you want to send from a non-default address for some reason? And what if you cc: two lists with different rules? I like the "default identities" idea though. There was talk about it once, but I don't think it's in bugzilla. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

I suppose for the power user wannabees you could have a warning or selection dialog :) You could even have an indicator on the "TO:" field that let people turn on and off the filter. > I like the "default identities" idea though.

I mentioned the outbound filter model as a possible solution that might be quicker (if it was possible to copy over the filtering rules and mugne the headers already).
