How to use .mac/.me alias w/ iPhone mail?

Question

My primary mail client is Apple Mail, and I have a .mac/.me address with several aliases.  On my desktop it is easy to choose which alias I wish to appear in the "sent" field.  I can not find out how to do this, however, when sending mail from my iPhone.  Instead, the sent field always shows the primary "parent" email address.  Can this be changed?  Thank you.

First and foremost, everything will work better if you can make a direct video connection from the mini to the display device. That's the smoothest path to a solution and what most people do to avoid the type of problem your setup is experiencing.
Another option, if you really want to pass the video through the receiver, is to use a product like Gefen's DVI Detective to trick the mini into thinking it has a continuous connection to the display, even though it is being interrupted by a switch in the receiver.
I'm pretty sure there is no terminal command to invoke "Detect Displays" but a clever fellow figured out a way to script the GUI command and assign it to a button on the keyboard, so you could try that and see if it works for you. Below is a link. You'll want to ignore the first part and skip straight to where the script is mentioned.

Maybe you could turn the script into a chron job. But doesn't the TV's input have to be tied to the mini's output through the receiver in order for the Detect Displays command to have the desired effect? If that is the case, I don't see how the chron job would help if the TV were set to receive input from another box through the receiver.
I'm not sure about Front Row death, but it could be related to the mini losing track of the display owing to the switching that is going on. Maybe avoiding the switch will cure the Front Row problem. Good luck.
