           Summary: bind identities to recipients (for mailinglists and
                    privacy)
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hauke at laging.de


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
