Sorry for the extra traffic. I was thinking one reply issue while Jim was
referring to another. His issue, as he pointed out to me offlist, is that he
has 2 email addresses and Apple's Mail app (which he's using) does not have
a feature to reply from the account to which a message is addressed. Thus,
when collecting from multiple addresses, our messages often end up sent via
the default account if we don't (a) remember which account was addressed,
(b) notice and (last) change the outgoing message. (All made harder since we
don't have a column that can tell us which address the mail was collected
under.) The result is that we get told we used the wrong account, then have
to send the message again. Jim's using forward. He also has the option of
going to his Sent folder and choosing Message->Send Again. (Feature not
available when doing mail via the browser.)
Both (3 really) are issues to me and are key in preventing me from using the
Mail app. (As I brought up with Apple as press long ago.) But at any rate, I
apologize for causing the extra bandwidth here.
