I have several email aliases that all go to the same account. Let's say my email address is joe@smith.com, so all email sent to that address goes to my inbox. I've also sent up an alias joseph@smith.com, so all email sent to that address goes into the same inbox as joe@smith.com. However, the To: line for those emails says joseph@smith.com. When I reply to any of these messages, the From: line says joe@smith.com. What I would like to see is whenever I reply to a message, the contents of the To: line in the email to me are placed into the From: line in my reply. That way, whenever I reply to email that was sent to joseph@smith.com, it has joseph@smith.com in the From: line. Obviously, this would have limitations, which is why I would like it to be a separate button. In fact, perhaps the Reply and "Reply All" buttons should be combined into one button with a drop-down menu, just like the Print button is. Then you could add "Reply From=To" (or something like that) as a third menu option. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 187578 ***

Sorry, but this enhancement is not a duplicate of 187578. That bug talks about using a known identity/account. In my case, I do not have an account for joseph@smith.com. My account is only for joe@smith.com. That is why I said this enhancement is an extension of bug #235671. And no, creating an account for joseph@smith.com is not a solution, because that was just a trivial example. In my case, I have an infinite number of aliases, and I have a procmail filter set up to route each one to a new IMAP folder, even if it has to create that folder on the fly. So my inbox has about 3 dozen folders, one for each alias, and they are created dynamically.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

This problem still exists on 1.7.12 on Mac OS X. However, I'm using "Freeform From and FCC on Compose" (http://www.supportware.net/mozilla/#ext3) as a work-around. It does have some bugs, though, so I still think that this feature really needs to be integrated into Mozilla.

This bug is identical to bug 87987 with the exception that I'm interested in Seamonkey only. I don't use Thunderbird, and I think 87987 is only for Thunderbird.

This feature has been implemented with the Virtual Identity add-on available from https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/594/. Since that add-on works really well, it doesn't bother me that it's not implemented as part of Seamonkey. So I'm resolving this bug.
