I'm not sure this is a solution for the problem discussed (blacklisting 
addresses).

I'm not convinced that would be a good solution since it would make it 
very hard to change what MailMate has “learned”. You would 
essentially have to send more messages from the new “from” than you 
did from the old “from”. Sending to a coworker from two different 
addresses makes it impossible for MailMate to anticipate what you want. 
In this case it's probably better if I provide some way to explicitly 
bind the default choice.

But I'll keep the idea in mind.
