hmm - that would be easier than today.

Lets say I have Sent 4 mails to human at work.com from my at gmail.com and 
1000 to human at work.com from my at work.com

mailmate insist on using my at gmail.com  until I remove all the 4 mails in 
my at gmail.com

my suggestion: it would choose from my at work.com. which is the right 
choice.


if I wanted it to be from my at gmail.com I would still have to go remove 
the 1000 from my at work.com in both cases.
