Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87987

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I have a number of mail accounts forawrding mail to one mailbox which I read
using Mozilla. But when I want to answer to e-mail which was forwarded their,
From: address is inserted from the account description. To make proper answer
available, I used to create fake mail account, but they have to differ not only
in e-mail address, but in servers too. It is not convinient to make additional
account every time when it is needed to make another From: address, and it is
boring to invent new servers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to make From: address in new or reply message
Actual Results:  
It is very boring procedure

Expected Results:  
At least to give the possibility to edit From: address by hand in composing
message window.
To give more flexibility, it would be better to introduce a list of From:
addresses independent of account list (so to add antother From: one needn't add
another account).
But even with such a list in some cases it is usefule to edit From: by hand in
composing message window.
