Bug 273428

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

It would make sense to be able to configure a certain identity for recipients (and a default identity for each own email address). There are three problems which would be solved by that:

1) Mailinglists usually hide the recipient's address so it is not possible to select the right identity. I often have to check which of my addresses to use as from address before I write to a mailinglist. The correct address should be chosen automatically.

2) When using forwarding addresses (which are not used as from) automatic selection fails in the same way.

3) I use several identities for the same email address. They differ in the signature. When sending mail to people from an organization I am a member of then I put non-public links in my signature. It could be bad if accidentally used the wrong identity for sending (mainly: replying to) mail. KMail should use the default identity unless the recipient is permanently or the composer window is manually configured to use a certain identity. It would make sense to have both a global default identity (which is used when you write a new mail) and a default identity for each email address (which is used when replying).

Reproducible: Always
