[Bug 270346] Re: Messages are sent with wrong identity when using multiple identities

[Mark Dwyer]

John,

Thank you for your reply.  After I sent this bug report I realized
that I sent it to the wrong place. I am having problems with
evolution, not thunderbird.  Thunderbird is working great, and does
not have this problem.  I have resent this bug report to evolution.
Again thanks for your reply.  I think this "bug" can be considered
resolved, at least as far as thunderbird goes.

One is a "work" address and one is a "personal" address.  It seems that no matter which identity I choose for sending email it always winds up being "from" my work address.
