<p>This sounds like a great idea — except that I almost invariably have a message selected in the message browser, and the likelihood that it happens to be from a mailing list that I want to write a new message to is miniscule.</p>

<p>I notice that the same behavior can be invoked via a contextual menu click on the list name/address when looking at a message already addressed to the list (e.g., <code>MailMate Users</code> and <code><mailmate@lists.freron.com></code>) — perhaps that is sufficient?</p>

<p>I notice that the <code>From:</code> address is actually <em>not</em> being correctly derived for me, at least, in the case of this very e-mail list. It’s present and very clear as the only <code>X-Delivered-To:</code> header, but a different address is being automatically set as my <code>From:</code> address in this message that I’m typing now. My subscription address (which is also the <code>X-Delivered-To:</code> address) is, as with you, not in the account settings — and since MailMate isn’t picking it up, I need to enter it by hand.</p>

<p>You’ve got great ideas here, I think. I can’t wait to see where it all goes!</p>
