Are you using message-mode (as opposed to mail-mode) to compose your
email messages?  If so, I think you need to change the value of
message-default-mail-headers when you switch accounts.  message-mode
picks up the values of mail-archive-file-name and mail-default-headers
when it starts up, and computes from them the value of
message-default-mail-headers, which it uses thereafter.
