Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Prior to upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10, Evolution was clever about choosing which sender address to use (in case you had more than one set up) when you replied to a mail - it chose the one which was the recipient of the mail you were replying to. After the upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, Evolution seems to have regressed and now always chooses the default sender address.

To reproduce:
1. In Evolution, set up an e-mail account with address, say,
<email address hidden>. Make this account the default.
2. Set up another e-mail account with address, say,
<email address hidden>.
3. Recieve a mail for <email address hidden>.
4. Start composing a reply to the mail in step 3 (by pressing Ctrl+R).
5. See how Evolution has selected <email address hidden> as the account
to use for sending the reply, rather than the more natural
<email address hidden>.

(By the way, I'm experiencing the bug right now as I send this message
to the bug tracking system by e-mail.)
