I send with a different 'From' address using Seamonkey's built-in
'Identities' settings.
In Linux it is under:
Edit | Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings | [whichever_account_name] (in
the left hand pane) | Manage Identities (in the right hand pane)
Add or Edit the Identities(s) associated with each account to give the
identity the 'Email Address:' you wish to show in the From: header for
that account.
Once identities are set up you can (before 'sending') switch identities
before, during, or after you start to compose an email. When sent the
email address of the 'identity' will be in the From: header.

Dennis, I suggested changing the "Sent" address whilst composing the
e-mail a couple of days ago....totally removes the need for setting the
"Reply-To" to anything!!
Phil hasn't seemed to notice that!!

Daniel, Dennis and W3BNR
In the past, both with Hughes and WildBlue accounts, I have set up a
primary account with 3 auxiliary accounts (aliases). Currently the
SeaMonkey settings for my primary account and each secondary account
(alias) has it's own incoming and outgoing server specified - the same
ISP server with the account's user name. The current outgoing server
is the same for all of the new accounts, "smtp.gmail.com", with the
user name of each account included, i.e. <[email protected] -
smtp.gmail.com>. The primary account is designated as the "Default."
In the past all of the accounts would use the current account user
name as the "From" address regardless of which account I used and I
didn't enter any "Reply-to" address nor did I use the "Manage
Identities" feature. Additionally, I must say I don't understand what
the "Manage Identities" feature does nor do I know how it works. By
the way, I can get to these account settings the same on the Mac as
Linux, or just using the left pane, select a user, then select the
action in the right pane.
I have changed the outgoing server setting for all accounts from
"Default" to their own individual server, i.e.
<[email protected] - smtp.gmail.com> and this has
failed for all accounts - SeaMonkey would slap my fingers "Sending of
message failed. The message could not be sent using the SMTP server
for an unknown reason …". I vaguely remember, in the past, there was a
SeaMonkey feature that allowed this (but they recommended against
doing it) but now I can't find it. This could also be my faltering
memory.
I have created email messages in the primary account and also in the
auxiliary accounts then changed the "From" setting at the top of the
composer window to an auxiliary account address. When received the
"From" was always the primary account address and the "Reply-to" was
the auxiliary account user name I used.
As I have stated, all emails look "normal" when I check the "Sent"
folder, but when received, the "From" address has reverted to the
primary account address.
My son suggested I switch from SeaMonkey to Thunderbird and Firefox to
see if that handles the problem. I also feel that there is some
button in the WildBlue environment that has an effect of this. I dunno.

I don't really understand why you don't use
<[email protected] - smtp.isp.net>
with your solution you just tell gmail that you are @isp.net
It looks like you are forging a mail which is reprehensible.
I personnaly have two account:
<[email protected] - smtp.scarlet.be>
and
<[email protected] - smtp.gmail.com>
This is a normal use of identity/pop/smtp
and the "From:" info is the same in my sent folder and in the
destination inbox.
Yes, Ray, I think you may have found Phil's problem....Phil, a lot of
ISP's do not like/allow you to send via their server accounts with a
totally different address, so suggesting your "send" address is
"[email protected]" and is being sent via the gmail smpt server would be a
problem, unless gmail had set up an alias, IMHO!!
So the email would come back from your gmail.net account!!
