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

[Jason A Miller <jmiller chipnet dyndns org>]

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.
