So it does, I think it's just less frequent than I'm accustomed to.
This should probably go on the list of things which should eventually be
configurable.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. And should be nicely
extensible if I ever want.

Probably too much effort unless it can consult mailcap or something and
fill in an appropriate default. I wonder how difficult that would be to
add....

Nope. The gmail address is an alternate, the primary is the :email:, it
tries to reply with the gmail address. But only sometimes. I still
haven't figured out what's causing it.

I'll look into this, thanks.

Feh, hope that's on the planned features list.

Should probably be a config setting.

That one's definitely not on the wiki. I'll have to track down the
canonical list of available hooks...
