a mix of davids original reply, plus my habit of using the middle button to 
open a new mail based on the folder i am currently viewing, has created a 
workaround thats good enough for a while.

once the folder properties has been set up, the bottom dropdown-tab of the 
properties window is where you specify which profile to always use for that 
mailing list folder.  for some reason i never noticed it.  and, as i 
mentioned above, i use the middle mouse button to create a new mail, which so 
far, apears to respect the folder setting.

cheers,
jonathan
