Actual Results: You have to remeber each time to change the from address to your other alias acount. it is not detected Expected Results: idealy it should see the to address that was use, note that you have an outgoing email account with that email address and thus use the same one as default when replying
Hrm.. can't find a dupe. Confirming + updating summary. Not sure which summary is the best: [RFE] From address should be taken from To: when replying to mail addressed to a known account [RFE] When replying to mail addressed to known account, From: should be set to that account [RFE] When replying, From: should be set to the known account found in the original mail
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Summary: [RFE] from address is always default when replying would be very useful to use the to address if an acount exisits → [RFE] When replying, From: should be set to the known account found in the original mail
Summary: [RFE] When replying, From: should be set to the known account found in the original mail → If To: address matches an account, replies should use that address
