[Bug 357864] Re: Editing the "From" field for the current email only (as text, not dropdown)

[Yuv]

Do the same as in Kmail, please.  I moved form Thunderbird to Kmail/1 in
2008 because Kmail/1 IMAP performance was magnitudes faster.  I
reconsidered and moved back to Thunderbird a few months ago because
Kmail/1 has been replaced by Kmail/2 with degraded (understatment [1])
IMAP performance and plenty of other issues.   I found Thunderbird has
leapt forward (kudos!); I could add to it almost all the features I got
used to in Kmail with add-ons, except the lack of ability to edit the
>From field for the current email only.  There was an add-on [2], but
unfortunately it is discontinued [3].  If somebody with the necessary
skill/knowledge could update that add-on, the feature would be available
to whoever needs it, although the implementation in Kmail/1 is actually
a very elegant one, with the feature "hidden" and available by simply
clicking into the field.
