I thought the problem was that this breaks if you have one IMAP account
that is a collection point for several evolution accounts, such as I do.
All of my mail from Ximian and newton.cx lives on one IMAP server, and I
have mailing lists subscribed under both addresses.  In my situation,
the account that the IMAP server "belongs to" is always used even when
that's the wrong account.

Of course, now that I think about it, I'm not sure how the mailer could
figure out what the right account is.
