So you'd think, but that's basically how it was supposed to work in
1.0.x and he's saying it didn't really... I suspect something is messing
up so that it doesn't recognize the X-Evolution-Source header and step 2
fails.


That's my take, as well, and I'm using the latest 1.1 snapshot,
downloaded yesterday. 

How about scanning the "Received from" delivery chain from source to
destination first, then looking in recipients, and finally at the
X-Evolution-Source header?

I'm attaching your message as I received it below so you can check out
the headers. For some reason, evo picked my "shiva sewingwitch com"
(default) account when I selected "reply to list". Both accounts are
POP3.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  now I get this.

So, basically, you have 2 IMAP accounts


He was actually talking about 2 POP accounts, but it should work
basically the same.

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.
