Subject: New feature: Fcc determination using Fcc field in address book?

When I select an address from the address book and this address has an Fcc
defined, this Fcc is not used in the Fcc header of the mail message being
composed. For example, if I want to sent mail to this list, I want all mail
to be stored in my folder for Pine. Problem is that I can only define a
single Fcc ("sent-mail") or extract the correct Fcc from the address, but
in many situations, I don't want to use the generated Fcc, but the Fcc I
define in the address book.

However, when I want to save a message to a folder, Pine can take the Fcc
from the address book and use this as the destination folder. It would be
nice if this also applies to the composed messages.

That's how it's supposed to work.  The fcc from the address book should
always override any fcc-rule that you may have set.  If it's not working,
there may be a bug we need to fix.  If you can tell us exactly what
keystrokes you go through to get this to happen, that would help.

One possible confusing point:  If you go into the composer and then use ^T
to select an address for the To field, the fcc won't show up until you
move out of the To field.  Thanks.

I have found the problem: it was me ;-) I now set the configuration to use
the default Fcc. Now I get the Fcc from the address book (if available)
and otherwise the default Fcc.

I just want to try to prevent some possible confusion about this.  It
shouldn't matter which fcc-name-rule you select in the Setup/Config
screen.  In all cases, an explicit fcc defined in your address book should
override whatever the fcc-name-rule comes up with.
