Forward not using address pattern...
Reported by Jason Quigley | March 8th, 2016 @ 11:45 AM
Hi Benny!
When I forward an email to a particular address, it always uses the last from address. This is a pain when trying to forward to a spam/ham address as I have to customise the from address every single time :-(
Shouldn't this function the same way as replying with an address pattern regex?
Thanks,
Jason.

Could you try the latest test release to see if this is still an issue: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.

Hi Benny,
I see this in the change log: “New: Hidden preference MmForwardingDeriveIdentityFromRecipient. (Enabled by default.)”
Unfortunately, it doesn’t help. Or maybe it’s disabled for me somehow?
Thanks.

Ironically, I tried responding to the ticket via email and got the following error:
We received an email from this address that had problems being processed
into a new Lighthouse ticket:You do not have access to post to the MailMate project.

It should be disabled or not configured:
defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmForwardingDeriveIdentityFromRecipient
You can debug what MailMate by running from the Terminal like this:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDebugDerivedIdentity -bool YES /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate
You can send the output via email if you spot something suspicious.
Are the previously forwarded emails in “Sent Messages”?
Lighthouse: And this happened because MailMate used the wrong From address when you reply as well?

Hi Benny,
the previously sent mails were in "Sent Messages". I deleted them all and it started to work as expected. I've now got a rule on "Sent Messages" which deletes anything forwarded to the spam/ham addresses.
Your application is amazing - every time I dig a little deeper, I find more treasure!
As for replying to the ticket by email, I used the same address (thanks address patterns!) that it was sent to. I'll check the headers at some stage.
Thanks,
Jason. -

- State changed from new to resolved
I'm glad you found a solution.
The ticket issue sounds like a Lighthouse problem if the from address was correct.

I just thought I'd mention the ticket issue due to the irony of not being able to reply via email ;-)
Thanks for all your great work!
