Subject:    [sylpheed:21682] Sylpheed does not honour Delivered-To on mailing list replies

Many mailing lists use the 'Delivered-To' header field to indicate which
account the received email was delivered to, so that if you reply to
that email, the From address is automatically set properly.

Most clients honour 'Delivered-To' properly, but Sylpheed seems to
completely ignore it. Regardless of who the mailing list email was
delivered to, Sylpheed always sets the From address as the default
account.

It would save a lot inconvenience if Sylpheed set the correct From
address automatically. First, so the user doesn't have to remember to
manually change the From address each time. Second, so the user doesn't
accidentally post to a mailing list with the wrong From address, from
which several problems can arise.

Thanks,
Adam
