> that's when we're all whacking our heads on our desks This could be solved with a one-time (i.e.: "[ ] Show this again") message dialog explaining the feature with a simple 4-line text.

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.
