Correct. I accept that this is desirable behaviour, and it's not the issue that I'm raising. > the odd > issue is when the email is to your default identity but when you reply > another identity is chosen.

On this point I'm yet to be convinced. :) I just had a look in my production SM source folders, and (as I suspected) there is no plug-in for this feature installed there. I then went into my download archives to see if I've even downloaded this plug-in as a potential install, and it wasn't there; I've not even gone that far for this plug-in. I also looked at the Obsolete plug-ins section on the SM site to see if this had been included in the production builds, and it wasn't there. Rather, it still appears under the Compose section on the SM site, which I can only take to mean that it's still a plug-in, and not included in any of the standard builds. So, while I have no real basis to say you're incorrect in your observation, the fact remains that we're both seeing the same problem, but while you have this plug-installed and suspect it of being the cause of the issue, I would respectfully contend that it is highly unlikely<g> to be the cause of the issue in my case. > For me once I removed custom_from then when I would reply the default > identity was always picked unless the email was to another matching > identity. As I said, I'm seeing the issue despite not having installed (or uninstalled) the custom_from plug-in. Go figure ... -- g.
