User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 I have a personal domain setup to forward all addresses in it to my real mail account, as well as a smattering of old addresses that still get used from time to time. Occasionally, primarily when sending to mail lists subscribed with one of these alternates, I need to have the message sent using one of the alternates. It's a royal pain to create a separate mail account for an infrequent activity, and makes making more frequent use completely impractical. UI-wise, what I think I'd like is a text field, perhaps optional in the preferences to avoid confusing novice users, that is a "From override". That way, the message would be saved in the Sent folder for the address selected in the drop-down From menu, but the message would actually get the address from the override field. Reproducible: Always

BTW: you don't need to create whole new accounts, you could just add an identity (top prefereference page of an account, button "Manage Identities")... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 87987 ***
