Build 1999112409M12: Win32/NT4, Linux/Redhat 6.0, Mac 8.5.1

Overview: Using multiple accounts, the File|New Message option does not
pre-choose the identity based on the folder pane selection:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Mail with a profile using multiple accounts.
2. Select an account in the folder pane
3. Select File|New Message so the Compose window launches.

Actual Results: In the Compose From: field notice that the identity is always
the first account.
Expected Results: The From: field should reflect the identity of the account
selected in the folder pane.

Additional Information:
1. Using the "New Msg" button recognizes the correct identity. This was a
problem before but was fixed (Bug# 16821)

adding sspitzer and ducarroz to the CC, because I think one of them was poking

Works for me
Using the 11/30 Windows build when I select File|New Message it's always
displaying the first identity instead of recognizing the account I have
selected. It works if I select the "New Msg" button but not if I use the File
menu.

reopen per ninoschka's findings.
Target Milestone: M13
since this is just the case of the menu, I'm moving this to m13.

oh my, this is a much more difficult thing than I ever imagined.
the menu items for composing a message come from the global overlay, which has
it's own goofy compose-window-opening routine.
We need to consolidate this. I'll talk to hangas about this tomorrow.
Target Milestone: M13 → M14
moving M13 bugs to M14 to get them off the radar.
(Not to worry, I'm still working on these before my other m13 bugs!)
It works ok from the toolbar, but not from the File menu. Seems ok for B1.
Target Milestone: M14 → M15
Target Milestone: M15 → M16
moving non-critical bugs to M20
Target Milestone: M16 → M20
seems to work now, I think varada fixed this.
