[Wylug-discuss] Mail agents

[Anne Wilson]

I was interested in the comment about mutt(?) and multiple roles.  In 
case anyone wants this facility with a gui reader, this is how I handle 
it in kmail.

In the kmail settings > Identities page I set up multiple identities, 
each with the required id for message purposes, and even email address.  
Take for instance my role in a wiki admin group.  The id that handles 
that does not bear any of my own email addresses, but one that goes to 
the wiki server and is distributed to the whole group.

The identities are associated with particular folders, and in the 
properties of the folder I set all replies to be kept with the original 
message.  In the same place I set it so that any message originating 
from that folder will use the twiki group identity.  In addition, 
because it is not only communication within the group, but with other 
users of the wiki, the identity is set to bcc the admin group.

Mails that go out that way have no pointer to me unless you examine the 
full headers, and it guarantees that the admin group are fully aware of 
all that's happening.
