User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0+ I use fastmail.fm as an email ISP. They have a feature whereby you can use an email address of the form 'username+folder@fastmail.fm' and it will automatically file the messages into the folder named 'folder'. This is a great feature for email lists. However, it means I need to create a new TB identity for each list in TB in order to send to each list (they usually don't accept messages 'from' other addresses). That's not so bad, but I often forget to actually set the address, resulting in the message being bounced. Please consider creating a 'default identity' for each folder. I can't help but wonder if there shouldn't be a special 'folder type' for email lists, so that other email-list-only features get turned on (eg, 'watch thread' would be great too - normally only for news). Reproducible: Always
