Not they way you wanted it, which, BTW, can be achieved with earlier
versions already.

To sort that out a bit:

In the current beta series there is a new feature called Common
Folders, which are Folders not within any account but common to all.
You can now receive your messages with your accounts and filter them
from there directly into the Common Folders (Inbox, for example).

This you can already do without Common Folders, just create a dummy
account to which you filter your messages. I do something a little
different, I have three active accounts, one of them my main account,
one only used for special purposes and one for general purposes
including TB! ML's.

Except for some odd "stranger" and all of TB! related mail I
automatically sort my messages into the folder structure of the main
account. This way it doesn't really matter to which of my many e-mail
addresses a message is addressed.

The downside comes with your idea of a message remembering which
account it comes from (and which reply settings should be used). But
don't despair, even this can be handled by templates - AB or (sorry
Marck) folder based ones. Or better still QT's.

A QT with the macro %ACCOUNT='name of account' and a good handle will
permit you to use the account's settings you want. This relies on your
ability to recognize which message comes from which account.

This is just to give you a hint.
