Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 44863

I have mutliple e-mail aliases that all dump into my main e-mail account, but
I'd like to be able to compose or reply to messages with a from: address other
than the one associated with my main account. Having a configurable list of
aliases and having those populate the From: dropdown list , or automatically
select based on the To: of a message I'm replying to would be immensely useful.

Currently, I set up dummy accounts, and use those for the dropdown list, but
that seems to be the only workaround for now, and it's a tad clunky. 

This might be good for the Thunderbird folks to see as well.
