Anne,

A further thought.  

Effectively kmail was silently hiding things from me.  It would be good if
either a property could be put on the standard sent-mail to allow all
origins to be visible, or a warning when you create an new Identity to
say "you are using a common sent-mail, if you do this you will not be
able to see the emails sent using this Identity, do you want to create
a new sent-mail?".
