Subject: [BUG/PATCH 2/2] emacs: Fix replying from alternate addresses
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 18:27:12 -0600

The bug was that notmuch-mua-mail used `mail-header` to check whether
it was passed a "From" header. The implementation of `mail-header`
must try to compare symbols instead of strings when looking for
headers, as it was returning nil when a From header was present. This
is probably because the mail functions construct headers as alists
with symbols for the header names, while our code uses strings for the
header names.

Since we don't use `mail-header` anywhere else, and `message-mail` is
perfectly happy to accept string header names, the fix is just to use
`assoc` to look for the From header, so that the strings get compared
properly.
