+\r
+You can get around some of this by setting\r
+notmuch-always-prompt-for-sender to t (it is a customizable\r
+variable). This means that whenever you create a new message or forward\r
+a message you will be prompted to choose a sender address.\r
+\r
+Indeed, I am surprised you don't find it annoying that, when you start a\r
+new personal email (e.g., with "m"), notmuch uses your corp address.\r
+\r
+> Can we make notmuch-show-forward-message behave like\r
+> notmuch-show-reply-sender, which chooses the From address correctly?\r
+\r
+We could do this, but it's not clear to me that it is better than what\r
+we have. Indeed, under your suggestion, suppose someone with their\r
+personal address as their primary address received an idiotic email from\r
+their boss, which they forward to their wife saying "what an\r
+idiot". Suddenly, it is now being read by work...\r
+\r
+Overall, I don't think is is possible for notmuch  to get this right\r
+enough of the time to make anything other than\r
+notmuch-always-prompt-for-sender sensible in this sort of situation.\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
+\r
+Mark\r
