[MlMt] New email - NOT Changing From address based on previous recepients

[Marc ARC]

Benny,

I like your assumptions ;-)

Yes, would help us a lot

and related in this field ( cause I didn’t find a way to solve it )
( hard-) linking a signature to an IMAP account or a From-email address 
( for new mails )

I love the intelligent way MM is handling this but in a multi-user / 
high volume / many IMAP account environment we have had too much 
“Murphy” happening to be good

Thanks in advance

Marc
