Automatically choose the correct alias when responding to an e-mail
Feature Summary
When responding to an e-mail and the e-mail address the source e-mail was sent to is known as an e-mail alias, use this alias for responding by default.
How would you like it to work
I'll describe it with a scenario:
- You have an e-mail alias configured for e-mail address y and your overall default alias is e-mail address x.
- You receive an e-mail directed to e-mail address y.
- You respond to that e-mail.
- Other e-mail applications will now use your alias y by default for your response. They will only use your default alias x if the address the source e-mail was directed to isn't configured as an alias. Geary will always use your default alias x for your response and doesn't care about the address the source e-mail was directed to.
The behavior of the many other e-mail applications makes more sense and should also be the default for Geary because users will expect that when using the application.
Optional: Show a small warning when responding and not having an alias configured for the e-mail address the source e-mail was directed to. Or show a hint that the default alias will be used. But I don't know if other people have workflows where they actually do respond to mails sent to another non-configured address often and a warning would then be distracting.
Relevant links, screenshots, etc.
Try it in other e-mail applications like Thunderbird or FairMail on Android. They all implement this behavior. Not the optional warning though.
