Keeping multiple configurations for outgoing mail

Keeping multiple configurations for outgoing mail

[Andrea Monaco]

Hello,


it seems to me that there is no way on vanilla emacs to keep multiple
configurations for outgoing mail and choose which one to use when
sending.  (Or maybe have a default address on C-c C-c and choose which
one on C-u C-c C-c).

Is this correct?  If so, I would gladly add this feature.



Let me know,
 
Andrea Monaco

Itʼs all kind of there already. See (info "(message) Mail Variables")
for a description of X-Message-SMTP-Method which you can combine with
'gnu-posting-styles'

But thereʼs not one blessed way to do it, because there are so many
different ways to read and send email in Emacs. At a minimum you'd
have to add support to message-mode and mail-mode.

I think that's correct.  Having a command that inserts different
X-Message-SMTP-Method headers in message-mode might be nice.

You may want to look at the gnus-alias package for inspiration. It is
rather maximalist, but provides functionality on par with
Thunderbird's multi-identity support.

https://github.com/hexmode/gnus-alias is the version I have been
using, there a few forks floating around.

And, for completion, there's gnus-pers:

I haven't tried using any of these.
