I'm confused by that slightly. Do you agree with me (which is what you outlined here), or Neil's original suggestion, which was the opposite? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357864 Title: Editing the "From" field for the current email only (as text, not dropdown) Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird I want to quite often use a particular email address (e.g. for writing to a mailing list), where I do not have added the email address to the account settings yet. However, Thunderbird does not allow to edit the From field, but only provides the configured email addresses in a dropdown. It would be nice, if you could also edit the From field in a text input. KMail provides this, for example, and there appear to be some extensions for it, but I'd like to avoid using an addon for this, but rather think it's a nice feature to have by default. I could imagine, that the last entry in the dropdown would say "Edit..." or "Custom..." and change the dropdown into a text field.
