Proposal

Add option to reverse search order in identity_select

Motivation and context

People who use aliases for mailing lists would probably prefer if the identity_select searched Received: headers in reverse order. Searching from the bottom (oldest) to top (newest) finds the address that the sending server thinks it was sending to.

Not a big deal most of the time since most emails will have To: or CC: but very helpful if you get lots of BCC: mail (like from mailing lists).

The patch to add a new identity_select_reverse configuration value is trivial. (Current as of 026eb8c)
