reverse_name and alternates: this is only effective for personal email, meaning email with one of your own addresses in the to/cc. Most mailing lists do not do that, so there's no way to "reverse" from the to/cc to the from of the reply. You want Jon's send-hook based approach, setting from etc based on the target address of the message you're composing. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au>
