You have the same set-up as I do in the office. All messages are
sorted into folders in an archive account depending on certain
conditions. It's the countries were they came from, in my case.

That's complicated. What I do is add an X-Apparently-To: header
showing the account it originally came in on.

Easier: Ensure with a macro that the message is sent from the correct
account. That's what the %Account= macro is for. I can send my
regex-based macro to you (preferrably via this list, as members on
this list helped me creat it), it is based on the X-Apparently-To:
header. Then BCC to yourself, and your message (coming back) is
filtered into the correct folder in the archive account. No manual
labour like drag-and-drop is involved. TB! just does everything
automagically.

For example, I receive a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from Germany. It
will be sorted into the Germany folder in the archive account. I hit
"Reply" in the archive account, the reply is sent from the Sales
account. The same holds true for the Management account, the
Accounting account, etc.

I'll be happy to send my Reply Template.

I don't even use Reply-To headers, as the replies should go to the
account the message was sent from.
