Still, if I'm in a folder & I send to somebody, the send-hook has taken control *until* I re-enter the folder... then it's reset. Or am I reading the above wrong? What I'm trying to do is this: If I'm in a folder, set my from address for the folder, *unless* I'm emailing to user@domain, then, use a different address. Now, after using the send hook, I don't want it to persist. I'd like it to "reset" as it were. I can do this with folder hooks -- use address A if in folder A, but, address B in folder B, or address C by default... but it's the *unless* exception I can't seem to set. (For instance, folder hooks are read again when I enter another folder... I can then use a defaults.global to unset headers before setting them based on folder. If I do the same for send-hooks, while also using folder-hooks, I cannot use folder-hooks at all... the send-hooks will always get used. OTOH, if I use a send-hook in a folder, the folder-hook is not re-asserted on the next send... as: folder hooks are evaluated only on folder entry, whereas send-hooks are evaluated on each send.) Does that make any more sense? What would be nice is something equivalent to Pine's roles, then I could decide what address to send from when I hit 'm', but, automation based on address would be superior in my case, if it were possible. Or--what if I had a default send-hook that somehow forced the re-evaluation of folder-hooks?
