In a good (probably standalone) MUA. In Fastmail's webmail system there's not much of that flexibility, however in a specific folder's "Advanced Preferences" you can set the identity which will be used when you compose a mail when that is the current folder. So here, if I have my debian-users folder selected, then click on Compose (which annoyingly needs me to scroll the folders list back to the top), the new window will open with "From:" set appropriately. I have to set the "To:" address manually, but in contacts I defined all my mailing list to-addresses as "ML - list name" so typing just ML in the TO field gives me a picking list of valid values. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
