"Me Too". I know it's the lamest thing to say but it's true that people
who find that the software fits their needs are much less vocal than the
ones who don't.

The problem is that you're not only adding a new functionality for the
people who are not satisfied with the current behaviour, but you are
killing the functionality for all the others. For example, the new
"scheme" would really not working for me and would put a toll on my
daily usage of Evo. Please don't do it.

As a lot of other people, I have a bunch of aliases all ending up in one
POP mailbox, and identity set on the base of the To: has never failed
for me (except for some mailing lists, but we all know that).

"Me Too"...
