Many people with catch-all domains now use a different email address for each of their contacts. A feature in which new mail to a contact has the From address prefilled with the address specific to that contact would be welcome.

For instance, when I write to mary hotmail com my From address is mary myDomain com and when I write to bob gmail com my From address is bob myDomail com  I would like Kmail to configure the From address in new mails to mary hotmail com with the From address mary myDomain com  Note that Identities do not solve this issue, as one could have hundreds of different return addresses (I do).

The Thunderbird extension Virtual Identity (https://www.absorb.it/virtual-id) enables this and other features useful to those who use this technique. Another BKO bug related to this technique is bug #72926.
