Generally works for me, too. I think the bigger problem is sending to contacts with multiple addresses: I keep including SWMBO's private e-mail address in some business correspondence. But I think you can disable the behaviour in the settings: New Messsage: Default Account.

Re: [MlMt] Disabling auto-switching of sender From: address?
I learned (trained myself) to first enter TO and then adjust FROM if needed. I actually like the fact that MM adjust the FROM based on the TO. In my case, it gets it right most of the time and I have a dozen FROM addresses, each for a different purpose. It seems that last used FROM for a given TO is usually given a preference.
