On 25 Aug 2017, I reported this problem to mm-feedb...@freron.com, under the subject “Heuristic for choosing 'From' address gives unexpected/perverse results”. Some three weeks later, I no longer had resources for following up on successive helpful replies from Benny. I decided that it would be a smaller nuisance for me to pay very strict attention to the From: address for every future message. This approach works, except when I don’t pay attention. 8-) As Jolin Warren explained upthread, MailMate can be configured either to use a single explicit account as the default origin of every new message, or to derive the origin “from context”. The “from context” heuristic seems either to be buggy or to use a bad strategy. In particular, once a message has been sent to a particular destination address, the From: address used for that message seems to become bound forever as the preferred From: address for selection by the heuristic for future new messages directed to the same destination, without regard to subsequent explicit choices of From: address.
