My apologies.
My sup email comes from three distinct sources, and as part of my
configuration they get a label as such (mit, twp or ita). This label
is the most visible way of telling me which source my mail came from.
I am subscribed to numerous mailing lists, however, which do not
explicitly list my mail address in To or CC. As a result, Sup defaults
to my "main address".
What I would like Sup to do is look at the label, find the appropriate
source, and use the email in the source to populate the From field.
This is different from what you describe below.

If Sup doesn't do the correct thing in this case, this additional hook
would be useful.

I would argue that most people have at least a personal and a work
email account, and that it is not appropriate to conflate the two.
They can write a hook that overrides an address (or, horror horror,
a twiddle in sources) to do it.
Cheers,
Edward
