Probably, but I do not expect Rit to make this change. I suspect that
it would require a large intervention into their program design. It
is not a reasonable expectation, and not really a show stopper for me.
I use specific folders for specific correspondents, or group of
correspondents, with a reply-to macro in the folder reply template.
Close enough. Sometimes, I move an email to the folder that gives me
the reply template I want to use. But, still, the identity lack is
in my list of weirdnesses.
