That would make it very hard to use TB in my configuration - I use my own
mail server, and it's configured to accept a lot of addresses and deliver
them to me. I also send messages with some of these addresses in the From
field (using TB's macros to automatically select the proper address), but
I have only 1 address configured in the account properties. By doing this,
it's easy for me to track where somebody got my e-mail address, and I can
also easily disable the address server-side if I start getting too much
spam on it. Your suggestion would make this impossible.

The address I use for mailing lists is one such example.
