Subject: [sup-talk] Email extensions/alternate emails

Hi -

I've never quite figured out why I'd add alternate emails to my
config/accounts. Last time I used them it appeared that emails coming
into an alternate address used the default email address on that
account to reply with - is this still the case?

I ask because I'm trying to implement support for email extensions
basically an email address like name-someotherid at domain.tld where
-someotherid is the extension. I added an "extensions" config option
that allowed me to add regexes for my extensions. I then extended
account_for to return the correct account given an email that matched
one of these extensions.

But... what I really wanted sup to do then was what I expected it to
do with alternates, is to reply to an email that came in on one of
these extensions with the same email address, not with the account
email address.

What else do I need to do? Is it just a matter of extending the reply
mode code? To do this should I have to create a dummy account/person
object for the extension address to be able to use it (this seems to
be the case)? Is there a better way to handle extensions?

Thanks

Marcus
