Account used for reply is always the preferred, Set the reply account based on the receiving account

Hi,
there is a way to config the bat so that when i reply to a message the account used is the same that received the original message ?
Digging around the config options i couldn't find a way to do it.

Thx

The easiest way to do so is by not moving the messages to common folders. A message keeps connected with the receiving account unless you transfer it to another account or a common folder.

When your common folder sorting is important to you, you could use the if macro to set the account. Would look something like this:
%If:'%OToAddr'='address1':'%Account="account1"':''%-
%If:'%OToAddr'='address2':'%Account="account2"':''%-
you could use that in the folder template of your common folders.

Common folders are very necessary to me.
Your workaround seems to be functional only with messages directed to one of my accounts in TO: field. With messages where i'm in CC: or in BCC: or for mailing lists it's not applicable. I should see if the macro can handle all these cases.

Your answer make me understand that the bat don'k keep track of which account received the message and that's why there is no account field in visualization modes.
Is it right ?

Thx for your answer.

That sums it up.
When your accounts are based on different servers you might be able to do some filtering on that part to identify the original account.

Another option would be not to use common folders, but to use virtual folders and keep the real messages in the original account, so the connection won't be lost.
