+Hello\r
+\r
+This patch sets is intended to allow the user more control over the\r
+From: address when replying to emails. \r
+\r
+In notmuch-reply.c the current logic for the From: address looks as\r
+the main headers, then at the delivery headers, and finally defaults\r
+to the config file address. This means that the frontends (e.g. emacs)\r
+cannot tell whether the users primary address is in the From: header\r
+because the message being replied to was sent to that address, or\r
+notmuch just fellback to using it as it had no better guess. \r
+\r
+The first patch allows the user to control which fallbacks are\r
+used. The second implements this in emacs so that it does not fallback\r
+to the primary address; thus, in this case, emacs can ask for the\r
+address (if notmuch-always-prompt-for-sender is set). The set is not\r
+heavily tested but appears to work.\r
+\r
+There is some bikeshedding available as to what options we should be\r
+able to pass to the --from= in notmuch-reply.c.\r
+\r
+It obviously also needs some tests and some man pages updates.\r
+\r
+Finally, we may want a defcustom option for emacs to control which it\r
+uses (e.g., the user always wants to reply from ther primary address).\r
+\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
+\r
+Mark\r
+\r
+                  \r
