Apple Mail plugin that fixes your sender for mailing lists

.gitignore

Contents/MacOS/main

README.md

WTF

This is an Apple Mail plugin that'll select the From: address of your choosing (see step 2) when:

• you're replying to a message from a mailing list (that has a List-Id header)

• One of the recipients is a known mailing list address from your configuration. (Again, see step 2.)

GETTING STARTED

0. Be sure to have the Nu framework on your system: http://github.com/timburks/nu

1. Compile main:

    cd Contents/MacOS/
    clang main.m -o main -bundle -framework Foundation -framework Nu
   

2. Edit Contents/Resources/bundle.nu with your own info.

3. Put this folder (the one containing this README.md file) in ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ and make sure it ends in a .mailbundle extension. E.g. the final path should look something like ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/MailingListFromFix.mailbundle

bundle.nu
