In case anyone else wants to do this, here's what I ended up doing: I
created a dummy POP account for my second e-mail address. Then I went
into prefs.js and changed
user_pref("mail.server.serverX.type", "pop3");
to
user_pref("mail.server.serverX.type", "none");
Now I have access to the alternate "from" address but Mozilla treats
the account as a "local folders" account and doesn't try to check the
server for new messages. I just tried this at random and don't know
whether it can cause problems, so try it at your own risk. It's worked
so far for me though. Incidentally if anyone knows of any negative
effects this might cause, please let me know.
