Couldn't confirm, may be I have missed something in your mail?
Personally I have 14 accounts (2 of them are phantom, but this doesn't
matter). About half a minute ago I started composing a test message and
then changed an Active account through the Options - Active Account
menu. The From address changed as well as Reply-To; the only thing that
remains untouched is my sig which is different from one account to
another.
