--- Comment #4 from Michael Pyne <mpyne at kde.org> ---
Please implement this feature in a way that doesn't break existing filters.

The behavior is documented at
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdepim/kmail/filters.html, which says that
"Set Identity To" should "... set the identity that will be used if you reply
to this message."

In other words, it's a filter action applicable for incoming messages, not
outgoing messages, at least the way that it's documented, which is used
presumably to help KMail disambiguate which identity an email is intended for
when it arrives over a single transport (I use this for KDE mailing list
messages since @kde.org addresses automatically forward to a "real" email...
without this KMail seems to pick up my actual email address in replies instead
of my @kde.org address). With the current behavior every message I've received
from a mailing list has been marked as From myself! ;)

However, wouldn't it already be possible to use the "Rewrite Header" filter
action to rewrite the "From" header to be correct in this scenario?
