There's an annoying wrinkle if you have more than one account set up  
in Mail and you receive a message addressed to 2 or more of them. If  
you reply to such a message, your reply will be from an email address  
associated with whichever account occurs first in the original  
message's To field, regardless of which inbox you're viewing.

So, when people send mail to my fiance and I, and I reply to it, half  
the time I accidentally reply as her. Even though I'm viewing the copy  
of the message that's in my inbox. Hilarity ensues.
