I apologize, mozilla seems to have taken me to the wrong page and I mistakenly
added an attachment to the wrong bug. Sorry, I can't figure out how to remove
it. -_-

Blake Mitchell: as you may be aware, multiple identities has been revamped.
Please take a look at this document (written for Thunderbird 0.5, but the 
changes are in Mozilla 1.7 builds as well):
  http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/identities.html
Configure your profile accordingly and report back whether your symptom is still 
present.

Fix probably due to patch in bug 226580.
