<p>since you are on macOS, you may probably want to look into a feature that apple just introduced with 10.12. Open Mail.app > Preferences > Composing.</p>
<p>There is an option called "Send new messages from:" and in your case you would want to set that to "Automatically select best account".</p>
<p>That option selects the From: account you used in previous messages to the same recipient. I currently am not sure, why this setting would not work as expected when writing to a mailing list.</p>
<p>Could you give this a spin and see if it does what you need?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Yes, indeed I have always set “Automatically select best account” and that seems to work most of the time. Of course, Mail.app doesn’t have a reply-to-list feature so it almost never selects the right address for replies to mailing lists, but I’ve learned to deal with that. The reason is that a proper reply to a mailing list should not CC the original author, otherwise they’d get duplicates. So it can’t know that I’m subscribed to List A with <a href="mailto:barry@A.com">barry@A.com</a> and List B with <a href="mailto:barry@B.com">barry@B.com</a>. In Claws, I have a small extension (written in Python) that essentially regex matches the To header to select the correct From header from a predefined criteria.</p>
<p>The other problem is that I have two keys associated with most of my email addresses. My older 1024 bit DSA key, and my newer 4096 RSA key. These days I’m always using the latter, but sometimes the former gets chosen (and both always show up in the From pulldown, which just clutters things up). I’d like to hide the 1024 bit keys if possible.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>

<p>the second problem should be solved in the nightly build: latest <a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/">GPG Suite nightly build</a>. That page also has sig and SHA256 to verify the download.</p>
<p>Regarding the reply to issue with mailing lists: would that be a feature request to Apple, as to how Mail.app handles replies to mailing lists? Or how do you think, GPGMail would play into this?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been thoroughly tested yet - bugs or crashes are to be expected. Thanks for helping us test.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/430799702017-09-12T00:12:22Z2017-09-12T00:12:22ZFeature request: From field selection maps<div><p>Hi Steve, I’ve downloaded and installed the latest nightly. Is there a changelog available? Or, can you describe how the nightly addresses my second issue?</p>
<p>So I think “reply-to-list” might indeed be an Apple request, but the ability to select a reply address based on the headers (e.g. List-ID, From, or CC) might be a GPGMail feature ask, since reply-to-list would only select the To: header, not the From: header.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>

<p>The bug you were seeing regarding key selection was a known issue with 2017.1b3. It's listed as first Known issue in the changelog for the beta channel: <a href="https://gpgtools.org/releases/gpgsuite/2017.1b3/pre-release-notes.html">https://gpgtools.org/releases/gpgsuite/2017.1b3/pre-release-notes.html</a></p>
<p>The commit fixing the problem is here: <a href="https://github.com/GPGTools/GPGMail/commit/c1f2cbd4d412b82329ccc053757d83842b8806f8">https://github.com/GPGTools/GPGMail/commit/c1f2cbd4d412b82329ccc053...</a></p>
<p>Have a great day,<br>

<p>While readingg the release notes (thanks for that link!) I noticed an item<br>
about GPGTools and Mail ActOn working together again. You know, I'd totally<br>
forgotten about Mail ActOn which I used to use. I'm thinking that maybe<br>
it'll handle that part of the job. Anyway I'm going to try it out, so it's<br>
great to know that the two products work well together.</p>
<p>Again, thanks for everything.</p></div>barrytag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/430799702017-09-18T14:43:34Z2017-09-18T14:43:34ZFeature request: From field selection maps<div><p>Feel free to share any findings if you manage to solve your request via Mail ActOn.</p></div>Steve
