Hi,
when one has to deal with multiple from-addresses, `alternates` and
`reverse_name` are a great time-saver. To make the situation perfect,
there is just one component missing -- `askfrom`. When replying to a
message `reverse_name` does its job very well, but when composing a new-
one, you always have to remember changing the From: header through using
`<ESC>-f` after editing the body. Obviously, I often forget to do this.
`askcc` & `askbcc` exist and there was even an `askfrom` patch back in
2002:

but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't accepted back then.
Thanks,
Petar
