I queue a message to be sent in the "Unsent Messages"
folder from one account other than the first I have created.
When I send the message, the "Mail From" header that mozilla
presents to the smtp mail server is wrong. (Mozilla presents "Mail From"
from the first mail account)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove all actual e-mail accounts.
2. Create two mail accounts: One@somemail.duh and Two@somemail.duh
3. Compose a new message.
4. Select Two@somemail.duh in the "From:" select box.
5. Click on file.
6. Click on send latter.
7. After the message is queued, click again on File.
8. Click on "Send Unsent Messages"

Actual Results:  The recipient of the message will receive a message with
"One@somemail.duh"

Expected Results:  The recipient of the message should have received a message
with "Two@somemail.duh" as the sender.

I also can appove this bug and I can also give a little more info:

Following:
Create TWO mail-accounts in Mozilla. One existing at your provider
(yourself@gmx.net), one NOT existing on your ISP (blabla@spam.xyz).
Compose a new message with "from: " set to first (existing) account.

Put it into message-queue (=> send later)

Compose various other mails with from: set to the nonexisting mailadress.

In the end go online and send all queued mails.
Every mail will get sent. With From: set to the nonexisting mail-adress.
This is because in SMTP-Header Mozilla uses the first From to identify on
mailserver with "MAIL FROM:"-command.
So every message will be relayed with the first existing address.
