Does any user actually want to be prompted for a From address when
mailing/forwarding normally but not when replying and there is no reason
to choose one address over another?
What I would actually like is to consolidate the From address choosing
so that it occurs in one place in the emacs code, so the three
(mail/forward/reply) naturally behave the same.
Thanks for the rapid review (and the significant bug catch!)
