No, but you could set up a macro to set the From.  But I still suspect
you want a send-hook or maybe a send2-hook combined perhaps with an
account-hook and folder-hook.  That's how I do this, combined with a
macro that allows me to set the From: address on new messages.  For instance:

	macro generic,pager,index,attach,compose,editor <F2> ":set from=ajs at anvilwalrusden.com<Enter>" "Mail from anvil"

It's not a bug, it's a binding between the From address and the key.
If you want this not to happen, set $pgp_default_key or maybe
$pgp_sign_as.  If you change accounts (as above) you can use the
relevant hooks to set the variable depending on the email address.
