[ale] mutiple e-mail address management - kmail

[Jim Popovitch]

Get Evolution.  It uses the email address that you have associated with
the account when you reply to email received from that account.  For
example, I have an account that picks-up pop3s email from yahoo.  This
includes ALE email.  If I reply to an ALE post (like this one),
Evolution uses "From: jimpop at yahoo.com", the email address associated
with the pop3s account.  The only downside is if you Forward an email
Evolution will use your "default" account.
