[Bug 357864] Re: Editing the "From" field for the current email only (as text, not dropdown)
FWIW: I (as original reporter of the bug on Launchpad) am using Virtual
Identity (https://www.absorb.it/virtual-id) since a long time already,
and it works great. It also provides a lot of advanced features which a
core implementation of this feature would not do.

Title:
Editing the "From" field for the current email only (as text, not
dropdown)
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
I want to quite often use a particular email address (e.g. for writing
to a mailing list), where I do not have added the email address to the
account settings yet.
However, Thunderbird does not allow to edit the From field, but only
provides the configured email addresses in a dropdown.
It would be nice, if you could also edit the From field in a text
input.
KMail provides this, for example, and there appear to be some
extensions for it, but I'd like to avoid using an addon for this, but
rather think it's a nice feature to have by default.
I could imagine, that the last entry in the dropdown would say
"Edit..." or "Custom..." and change the dropdown into a text field.
