Above the To field, where you enter the email addresses of recipients, notice that the From email address is actually a dropdown menu: click on it.
Hotmail will display the list of all email accounts you have added: just click on the email address you want to send this particular message from, and you are done!

As soon as you click on the Send button, Windows Live Hotmail will distribute this email to all its recipients, as though it had been sent from the email account you picked.
