You're right. There wasn't really an agreement. I suppose I should
have linked to the discussion. Here's the entire thread:

https://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2020-October/027022.html

It looks like I overlooked the suggestion to filter the mail into
different folders on arrival and set a default account in the
"Compose" tab of each of the folder's properties. That one seemed
like the most solid suggestion of those that were offered at the time.

I got the impression that the OP in that thread was after the same
thing as the OP is after in this thread. Both want the "From:" field
of the reply to be filled out from the "To:" field of the email
that's being replied to.

Just curious, but when wouldn't they? Wouldn't all the mail that you
ever write come from one of your existing accounts?

Okay, but I'm not sure what's different about it. If so, then my
apologies for the noise. Otherwise, hopefully Francois will chime
back in and let us know whether he's after what I was after or if
he's after something else entirely.

Also, if he's not after the solution I posted in my previous message
in this thread, maybe he'll like one of the ones in that thread linked
to above.
