Oh, there actually is a good answer for this. I forgot that the one part
of the multiple accounts stuff that is actually functional is the
sendmail aspect.

For each different account, add an entry under the :accounts: section of
config.yaml, copying the fields from the :default: block. E.g.:

  :account_name:
    :name: A Name
    :signature: /home/whatever/.signature
    :alternates: []
    :email: email at address
    :sendmail: /sendmail/command

So this should be a sibling of the :default: block. The :account_name:
thing should be something unique, but can be anything---it's not used
other than to distinguish them.

Then when you send mail with a From: line set to the primary (or an
alternate) email address of an account, sup will use the corresponding
sendmail command. I just gave it a quick try and it seemed to work, but
test it before accidentally spamming your boss.

The next step will be to be able to select a From address from a list
when composing (so that the right signature can be put in).
