[TriLUG] from: address? official capacity?

[David A. Cafaro]

Yeah, it's not fair (or right?), but it's one of those facts in life.

On the subject of email clients.  I primarily use Evolution for email,
and to choose which account this email comes from I simply click on a
drop-down menu in the "from:" field and select my from address.  And
since this is my laptop (work and home) I just use Evolution to handle
all my email accounts.  Keeps it simple for me.  I used to do the same
with Eudora Pro in windows, and I believe you are correct that the
latest versions of Netscape and Mozilla both handle this as well.
