If it can comfort you even Apple Mail.app ha no support for full identities like Thunderbird and every other good mail client (I think of Eudora, back to 1999, that had full identities support) have, except for some little trick that does not do “The Right Thing".
We ended writing a little PyObjc application that adds support for full identities to Mail.app, but it is just a hack and dunno if it will work forever :/
