Splitting this issue out of bug 16413. This is a feature tracking bug for the feature where there's a preference for alternate email addresses which are also "me". The main purpose of this feature is to allow people who send mail as "phil@foo.netscape.com" or "phil@bar.netscape.com" to avoid receiving duplicate messages when they send mail. The main mail address (e.g. "phil@netscape.com" is pruned from replies, but other hostnames which use the same mail server are not. In 4.5, the preference was called "mail.identity.useremail.aliases", and it's a comma-separated list of regular expressions, e.g. "phil@*.netscape.com, phil@*.mcom.com"

I would prefer as least the option for this to be a prompt. It's a nice idea but I often send from one account to another.

What does that mean? You want the aliases list to be in the Preferences dialog?
Or something else?

Apologies. What I meant was that detection of aliases should prompt the user as to whether they should be removed, rather than doing it behind their back. This was split off a "Reply To All" bug and if it only applies to that, I'm fine with it as proposed. If there's something more than that, ie doing it in normal messages, a prompt might be necessary.

Yes, only for replies. Otherwise, it would be impossible to send mail to
yourself, and that would be bad :-)

Pine has this. A related feature that comes out of this is the abilty to quickly select all messages that were actually sent To one of the user's aliases (as opposed to the 98% of mail I get that is just mailing list spam...)

Probably another bug, but when i have mozilla collect email addresses, it also collects addresses from people who send via the server on their local machines. It would be nice to be able to say, for example 'mxaw@blighty.csd.sgi.com == mxaw@blighty-2.csd.sgi.com == mxaw@csd.sgi.com == mxaw@sgi.com', but for everyone. Perhaps a rule to remove parts of the domain which are unnecessary 'remove mxaw@*.sgi.com' would cause it to treat all the above as 'mxaw@sgi.com'. Does this make any sense? Part of this or a different bug? Probably an RFE anyway... Max.
