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.
