  • benny
    • State changed from new to resolved
    by benny at 2:04 PM

    If I understand correctly then this should work if you simply tell MailMate about your email alias. You do this by adding it to the “Email Address(es)” field in...

    I am a member of a mailing list (example@lists.example.com) using the address "jy@example.com". This is not my primary email address. The list sets a "Reply-To:...

    I agree, I'm still a bit lost on how thread works. It is not threading as I'm used to. Gmail threads differently.

    You mean at the current caret location?

    It's not obvious how that should work. There could be a special “Insert Signature” sub menu which would insert at the cu...

  • benny

    I believe this is a bug in the sending email client. At least I could only reproduce it if the name part was unquoted (which is not allowed in this case).

    Could the difference be that when you restart the machine then it's because of a “hard” crash like running out of (or cutting) power?
