When you have multiple accounts in mail.app and you compose a new message, there is a drop-down option to select which account to send from. how do you choose which one comes up automatically from the get-go?

two things will dictate what account shows up from the "get go."

(1) If you are replying to a message, the "from" account will default to the account that message was sent to. (so if was sent to xyz@mac2.com, the reply will be from xyz@mac2.com by default). Same goes for forwarding.

(2) If you are creating a new message, it will default to whichever account is listed first in the "accounts" section of your preferences. You can click and drag to put the accounts in whatever order you prefer.
