Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have to remember to,change the from address when I want to e-mail using a different from address/alias. Sometimes I forget and it uses the default.

Describe the solution you'd like

Offer an option that everytime you go to create an email or reply, it pops up asking which address you want to send from.

No files or tests are named. Begin at the compose and reply entry points and inspect how the current From address is selected; done means an opt-in option prompts for a sender address in both flows.
