[Evolution] edit "from" field in composer (i.e. "+" address support for mailing lists :P )



Hello,

Is there is a way to conveniently edit the From: field when composing a
new email?

I use separate email addresses for all of the mailing lists i am
subscribed to (in the form user+list domain), and in order to send
replies to any of the lists, i am obligated to either:
1. create a new account entirely, or
2. modify an existing account temporarily.

As i subscribe to more and more mailing lists, web forums, and so forth,
i find that my list of addresses is growing to a level where having a
separate account configuration for each is highly cumbersome.  Likewise,
editing an existing account each time i wish to respond to a list feels
like a horrendous waste of time.  If i could simply edit the From: field
in the composer, it would solve both problems quite easily.

I took a look at the mail archives, and noticed an item from 2005 in
which somebody asked this very question.  Unfortunately, there were no
useful responses (i.e. "no, you can't do that.").  I am curious to know
if - 2.5 years later - this functionality has been added to Evolution.

Thank you.
