I've discovered what is happening. There is some quirk in Thunderbird
that causes its "from" address to be wrongly set under some

It seems that sending from one sometimes uses the address of another.
I haven't yet figured out what causes this. My recent unmoderated
message was sent from this [subscribed] account, using the Reply
button but another [unsubscribed] account's address was used as the
From address. Ho hum.
Hopefully this will be unmoderated.
Nope -- also from the googlemail account, also moderated. Your
outgoing SMTP server is usually the same for all accounts, Thunderbird
seems to dislike trying to use different ones. Might that have
something to do with it?
When sending an email through a google mail account with Thunderbird,
you need to send through a SMTP server set to the name of your
Googlemail account. If you send from through a SMTP server set to a
different Googlemail account, Googlemail changes the from address to the
name of the account you sent through. This is one of the peculiarities
of gmail.
Thunderbird easily handles using multiple SMTP servers. I have nine
different ones.
