Build 1999071408M8: Win32/NT4

Overview: With multiple accounts and composing a message I should be able to
choose a different identity in the From: field. The problem is that I have 5
identities defined and only one is an option in the Compose window.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a prefs file with multiple accounts (i.e. I have 2 pop and 2 imap)
2. Open Messenger
3. Select the New Message button and the Compose window appears.
4. Note the name that is displayed in the "From:" field and select the down
arrow to list other identities.

Actual Results:Only one identity is listed.

Expected Results:I expected to see 4 identities because my pref file has 4
accounts defined.

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: Tried the same scenario on Linux and
Mac and they have the ability to choose another identity.

Additiona Information: I tried reducing the number of accounts from 4, to 3 and
then to 2. In all cases only one identity appeared in the Compose "From:" field.
