Except for what MailMate does normally: match the sender address in replies to the recipient address of the original message. This is not something you get from all other MUAs. I'm not sure that MM will work automatically with the Apple Hide My Email messages, as there is no obvious way for MM to map the very random addresses that Apple uses onto a particular account for SMTP purposes. You *may* need to add a very loose pattern in the account's "Address Pattern" for that to work automatically. However, MM is great in part because even if the automatic address picking scheme misses, you can still use the "Customize" option in the From pull-down menu to set whatever address you want to use on each message. Doing so doesn't modify settings, it merely sets the address for that one message. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
