emacs notmuch-reply: Change FROM adress according to TO address

Hi there,

I am using notmuch in Emacs with three different from-addresses (via
mbsync). When replying an email, I currently have to set the FROM-address
manually. What I would like to have is that the FROM-address is set
automagically according to the TO-address. I.e., if someone writes to my
address "foo.com", the reply should come from "foo.com"; if someone
writes to "foo.de", the reply should come from "foo.de".

I know that I can set the reply address by prefixing the command 'r',
which lets me choose my sender address, but that's not exactly
automatically.

Any hints are appreciated! (please CC me since I am not subscribing the
list)

Jörg

This should be automatic for those To addresses listed in
user.primary_email user.other_email in ~/.notmuch-config. You can set
this by hand or using "notmuch config set user.other_email
bar@foo.de;bar@foo.com"
