Sending
The sendfrom method sends coins and debits the specified account. 
It does **not** change Bitcoin's algorithm for selecting which coins in the wallet are sent
-- you should think of the coins in the wallet as being mixed together when they are received. 
There is no way to ask Bitcoin to "create a payment transaction 
using the coins received from these previously received transactions" 
without using the raw transactions API(which is not part of the account system.)

The sendtoaddress method works like sendfrom, but always debits the default account.

The send will fail if the account has insufficient funds, with two exceptions:

 - 'sendtoaddress' always succeeds if there are sufficient funds in the
   server's wallet.  For example, if your wallet account balances were 100 BTC in account
   'foo' and 0 BTC in the default account, then the balances after sendtoaddress
   1PC9aZC4hNX2rmmrt7uHTfYAS3hRbph4UN 10.00 would be 100 in account 'foo' and -10.00 in
   the default account (and the overall server balance would go from 100 to 90 BTC).  On
   the other hand, using 'sendfrom' to send from the default account with a zero balance
   will fail with message "Account has insufficient funds".

 - The check for sufficient funds is done before paying transaction fees (if any); if a
   transaction fee is needed, and there are sufficient funds in the wallet, then the
   transaction fee will be paid and debited from the account.  For example, if account
   'foo' contains 10 bitcoins, you sendfrom foo 15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC 10,
   and the transaction costs 0.01, 'foo's balance will be -0.01 bitcoins.
