This is correct, but the initial guess can often be confusing and if the 
recipient entered is unknown then it's also a bad initial guess. I've 
tried improving this in the next update, but you can also use the 
`MmDefaultAccount` [hidden 
preference](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#composing).

The new derivation might also make it more convenient to use the 
`MmListPostLookupEnabled` hidden (and undocumented) preference recently 
discussed on the list. Enable it like this:

     defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmListPostLookupEnabled -bool 
YES

This should fill out the “To” header as well by default when the 
current context is mailbox with messages of a particular mailing list, 
e.g., in the Mailing List submailboxes.
