See the <Help> section for the predefined variable $cursor$. This variable
is used in a canned reply. Canned replies will also permit you to select
the signature to use also. See <Help> section for the predefined variable
$s.signame$. Personally, I think this is bad form when replying to a
message.

Currently, PMMail is setup for each account to represent a persona. I like
this feature. There is no global storage of all available <From>
addresses. Generally, you should always reply from the same address that
the message was sent to. PMMail restricts the reply addressing to the
<From> and <Reply-To> addresses stored for each account. If you wish to
have messages sent to a different address when the recipient replies
change your <Reply-To> address for your <Work> account. If you want to
change the <From> address, the message must be moved or copied to the
account with that address. Even if you could change the <From> address,
the mail header will still show the mailserver information used to send
the message. Of course, a feature could be added to permit selection of a
<From> address either from a filter or from a canned reply. A global file
could be created that keeps track of all created accounts. It seems more
work than the value received.
