I think I understand the problem. It sounds a bit like what you really 
need is some kind of redirection of messages during message delivery, 
but I guess that is not possible.

I cannot think of a way that you can solve this problem in MailMate as 
it is now. I guess a setting similar to `reverse_name=no` could solve 
it, but that only works when you want this behavior for *all* email 
addresses. It would be nice if a solution could handle any combination 
of email addresses.

How does that solve the problem? You would still be using the wrong 
sender in the first reply -- or do I not understand what you do?

I'm afraid there is no way to this yet.
