202995 - RFE: Can't edit "from" address when replying to mail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87987

Description

[Karl Palsson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

I have my own domain, and have "stray mail" type collection turned on, whereby
all the mail addressed to [e-mail] go to the one email box, and are
therefore collected by one mozilla account.

That mozilla account has one reply address specified, as required, but it cannot
be edited.

eg, in my case, I have banking@blah and photos@blah go to the general
collection, and the box labelled blah@blah.

Now when I try to reply to a mail that was sent to banking@blah, the from field
is filled in as blah@blah.  The remote bank then says, "this isn't who I sent
mail to, I'm ignoring that"

I'd like to be able to edit the from field directly. (as I can in eudora and
pine at least)
