+\r
+I think forwarding should be more symmetric with replying than with\r
+sending a new message.  Forwarding is an act of sending a mail you\r
+received at your account A to another person, and so the default account\r
+that it's sent from must be account A, not one of your other accounts.\r
+\r

+\r
+I'm not surprised because it's a new mail and not associated with any of\r
+my accounts yet before I send it.  Forwarding is different because it's\r
+already associated with one of the accounts and that one should be the\r
+default From address when forwarding.  That's my expectation and I think\r
+it's intuitive.\r

+\r
+Agreed that this issue can happen in this case.  Let's forget about the\r
+privacy issue.\r
