OpenNTF Mail Experience - Feature Request: Editable sender of email


I don't know if there are others that have a similar environment, but I have several (internet) email addresses that all go into one mailbox (e.g., I use different email addresses when registering at web sites, for getting newsletters etc.).

But when I send an email, my standard (mail file) email address is used, which reveals my "real" email address which makes the efforts with different email addresses useless.

Could you make the sender editable? I'm not a Notes expert, but I was able to modify some code in the openntf mail form to do that:

- make DisplayFrom editable (in Form Memo, Reply, Reply with history)
- modify mail fields in Querysend event:

Sub Querysend(Source As Notesuidocument, Continue As Variant)
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim mysender As String
Set doc = source.document
mysender = source.FieldGetText("DisplayFrom")
doc.ReplyTo = mysender
doc.Principal = mysender+"@NotesDomain"
doc.InetFrom = mysender
doc.InetSender = mysender
doc.From = mysender
End Sub

I guess that fragment shows that I'm not an expert - actually, that were the first lines I ever did in Notes ...

Though from some fields in the so sent email you can still see the "real" sender of the email, that does what I need.

If others like this idea, it could be improved by:

- when replying, set the sender address to the address the original mail has been sent
- provide an editable list of sender addresses in the DisplayFrom field
