Re: [Evolution] Setting the "from address" in evolution?



I don't know about anyone else on this list, but to me that would be an
extraordinarily dangerous ability for a mail client to have.

As a mail server administrator, I would most certainly find the person who was
forging hundreds of emails at a time and virtually castrate them. ;->

Even for "research", this is a bad idea all around.

Sorry for being a bit O.T.  Just have been following this thread and didn't
want it to restart.

Hello,

      I would like to see how spammers are getting hold of my email
address. This is for my research...  Whenever I send a mail, I would like
to use a separate from address like I did here in this mail.
sudhakar+evolution cs princeton edu

Our mail server understands that sudhakar+evolution corresponds to
sudhakar.


Now, **each** time I send a mail I would like to be able to change the
From field accordingly.  Is there a way I can do it in evolution?
Obviously doing this in settings is not an option. (It is a pain to do it.
But for research, it is worth the pain.)

In pine, I can set these options:
customized-hdrs=Reply-To: sudhakar cs princeton edu,
        From: sudhakar cs princeton edu

When I compose the mail in pine, the composer looks like:

  PINE 4.58   COMPOSE MESSAGE                     Folder: INBOX  416

Thus, I can easily edit the mail headers.

How do we do it evolution?  Can I easily set the mails headers in
evolution?

I am sending this email in pine. :-)   I would love to be able to do this
in evolution.

regards,
Sudhakar.
