I don't think so.  It's nice to be able to use other addresses, which I 
do somewhat frequently.  A standards-observant user agent should, I 
believe, in this case insert a Sender header with one's actual address, 
but I don't think that's a major issue.

I have noticed (bearing in mind I'm running a now fairly old version of 
Mailmate) that 'sent' copies of messages from an offline account will at 
least sometimes get filed in the Sent Messages folder for that account, 
which can make things a bit messy if one relies on having those copies.  
I BCC myself, as that keeps everything in the same one place.
