in Mail set preferences for which account used to send email

When I click on a webpage link to send an email to somebody, Mail brings up a new email with that address on it -- but invariably it assigns it to an email address that I rarely use. Same for forwarding incoming email. I see no way to edit that From list to have a different account come first. This does not happen when I click new message from the Mail program itself. Is there a way to edit that list?

MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad, iPod Touch

By default, Mail will always sent new messages from the account that is currently "selected" (ie, you have selected one of that account's mailboxes). However, you can easily change this in Mail's preferences. Choose Mail -> Preferences, then select the Composing tab, then change the pop-up menu next to "Send new messages from" to the desired account.
