You and your drop down again. What's going wrong on your system that you can't use an editable drop down? Making the field uneditable would unedit the custom address, so that's pointless. > - What if users try to use it as a separate address and they don’t actually > have the account added to TB. Any replies to it will never show up. This is already possible via the multiple identity support. > I like the drop down UI though, just needs an option to pick the server. It uses the server of the address that you customised.

Well you didn't have review authority over it anyway. Just to check your editable drop down, please can you try the following steps: * Open an HTML Compose window * Click in the message body area * Format - Page Colours and Background * Advanced Edit... Under Attribute there should be a dropdown that gives you the options of background, bgcolor, text, link, vlink, alink, id, class, title, lang and dir but is also editable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357864 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.
