Hi,

you can tweak almost everything in Claws Mail. In my experience, for
account selection modification, using scripting plugin is the best
option. There is Python plugin, which allows message properties
manipulation on editing, part of Claws Mail. I can't use this plugin,
but I created new Lua plugin, which does the same and more, available
on request (not yet integrated into main repository).

In attachment, I am including my old python script which adjusts From:
header on reply/forward based on address where original mail was
delivered to (may not work on all mail servers, depends on which
message header is added on delivery).

Regards,
Milan
