It happened on a gmail address which is used exclusively by my iPhone, and does not appear in any other device. Seems to me to exonerate Mailmate. I'm still not convinced. MailMate plays some role in this, but I haven't figured out exactly how yet. Hopefully someone can get me some logs at some point. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Is there a configuration options which would force me to choose either before I start composing, or force me to choose at the point of sending? I've actually very recently added an experimental hidden preference which is completely untested: defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmNeverDeriveSenderBasedOnRecipient -bool YES The next time MailMate is updated then you can let me know if it actually works :) -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

The worst culprit in my experience is App Store. I often _do_ want to read the details of updates but the light grey text defeats my best endeavours if I am tired. With the lengthier descriptions I sometimes take a screenshot and if I'm going to put bits into an email or newsgroup post I'll OCR that. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Change default "from" email address behaviour
@Sherif - Thanks for the suggestion - that has been my latest attempt to overcome whatever the (dumb) perception / UI /lack of attention to detail issue I have….. much helped by using the following excellent hidden preference defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmComposerInitialFocus -string "alwaysTextView" @Benny - looks promising! It’s a shame that your excellent design idea doesn’t work for every user! I will try to remember to report back…..
