User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 This is an enhancement request. I use multiple personal email addresses, and they are consolidated into a personal email box. This lets me see work email, personal email, mailing list email, etc., all in one inbox. However, when I reply to a message, I must manually select the appropriate address for the From: field (e.g., work@..., personal@..., etc.). If I don't manually select my From: address, I end up bouncing emails to list servers, getting multiple copies of future emails as they get sent to multiple addresses, etc. Ideally, when I reply to a message, Mozilla would check the "To:" and "CC:" and possibly "Envelope-to:" headers of the original message to find which of my email addresses the original was sent. That is, if I received a message: To: somebody CC: myworkaddress@... Mozilla would recognize that myworkaddress@... is one of my configured accounts, and use that as the "From:" field instead of the default. If no alternate address is recognized, it should fall back to the current behavior of using the default address from the current account. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
