need to be able to select SMTP server in the "composition" window

Details
This enhancement request is needed for people who use several ISPs with the same
computer (e.g. travelers with notebook computer).
In 0.9.4, it appears that the mail client allow for only one SMTP setup per
account (either use the default SMTP server, or use a custom specified SMTP server).
People who use different ISPs with the same notebook computer faces the problem
of changing SMTP server for outgoing mail.
Consider the following scenario:
I access always the same POP server for all incoming e-mails, this independently
of the ISP I use at the time of the e-mail download.
However, when sending e-mails, I need to use the SMTP server of the ISP I am
connected to. This changes each time I use a different ISP (office ISP, home
ISP, hotel ISP, etc?)
Currently, Mozilla Mail does not offer a convenient way to create a drop down
list of SMTP servers that can easily be selected when sending out messages.
Currently, I have to go into the ?account settings? and either change the
default ?global? SMTP server, or select a ?custom? SMTP server in the ?advanced
account settings?.
Each time I change ISP (which happens everyday, because my office ISP is
different than my home ISP), I need to change this setting again.
It would be much more convenient and user friendly, if a drop down list of SMTP
server was available in the ?compose? window of a new message.
When opening a new ?compose? window from an account, to start to write a new
e-mail, the compose window should automatically select the last SMTP server used
for the previous e-mail sent from that account. If the user has moved and
connected to another ISP since the last message, the user will see that
displayed SMTP server in the ?compose? window is not adequate anymore and the
user will select the appropriate SMTP server for the current ISP from the drop
down list.
In the ?compose? window, the drop down list of SMTP server could be placed in
next to, above or below the ?from:? field.
Thank you.

Other people have this problem too, apparently. :)
