Re: [Evolution] Determining the account used for sending mail

[Ryan P Skadberg <skadz mindstorm com>]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  now I get this.

So, basically, you have 2 IMAP accounts which both gets mailing list
mail.  And you need to determine based on Evolution Source because your
account is not in the To line.

Ok!  Then, the best way for this to work is:

1) Search the Recipient list for an address in your accounts
    (this should fail on a mailing list, so ...)
2) Use X-Evolution-Source.
3) Barring Neither working for some reason, use default account.

If you are pointing 2 accounts to 1 IMAP store it's ALWAYS going to fail
on the list mail, unless they did something wild and starting searching
Received From line (I AM NOT SUGGESTING THIS!!!), so therefore, this
should work for the case you pointed out if you are using 2 IMAP stores.

Anyone disagree??
