Using may16 commercial trunk build

Using the Compose Mail To context item in the mail header envelope opens a
message composition window with the correct addressee, but always selects the
default account identity in the From field.  Since I'm reading a message in
another account with different identity, I'd expect it to select that (current)
identity.

1.  Open to mail window in a profile having multiple accounts, each account
having a different identity/name/email.
2.  Select/Read a message in an account other than the default identity. In the
header envelope for that message click on an email address in the To: Cc: or
other address header and select the Compose Mail To item.
3.  Mail composition window opens with default account/identity selected as the
From identity instead of the identity of the account you're in and composing from.

Note that the duplicate has had a patch submitted against it, in nightlies since 
Dec 20.  I have checked in the 1.7a-1230/Win2K build and it performs as 
requested in this bug.

Reopening; not a dupe.

Sorry about the bugspam.  I retested this under Moz 1.5 -- which does not 
contain the patch from that alleged dupe -- and that version also behaves as 
desired for mail addresses in the 'envelope' header.  Therefore, not a dupe; so 
reopening and resetting to WorksForMe.

mailto: links within the message body still use the default identity;
this is bug 194809.

xref bug 59548 comment 39 where Esther describes this bug's desired behavior 
(which is the current behavior) as a "regression" in build 20030331.
