\r
89 You can get around some of this by setting
\r
90 notmuch-always-prompt-for-sender to t (it is a customizable
\r
91 variable). This means that whenever you create a new message or forward
\r
92 a message you will be prompted to choose a sender address.
\r
94 Indeed, I am surprised you don't find it annoying that, when you start a
\r
95 new personal email (e.g., with "m"), notmuch uses your corp address.
\r
97 > Can we make notmuch-show-forward-message behave like

98 > notmuch-show-reply-sender, which chooses the From address correctly?
\r
100 We could do this, but it's not clear to me that it is better than what
\r
101 we have. Indeed, under your suggestion, suppose someone with their
\r
102 personal address as their primary address received an idiotic email from
\r
103 their boss, which they forward to their wife saying "what an
\r
104 idiot". Suddenly, it is now being read by work...
\r
106 Overall, I don't think is is possible for notmuch to get this right
\r
107 enough of the time to make anything other than
\r
108 notmuch-always-prompt-for-sender sensible in this sort of situation.
