   I do much the same thing. The only difference is that I file the   
   messages in custom folders under the original account tree, so when I   
   reply, it does come from that account.   
      
   Since you are placing the messages in folders under the Local Folders   
   account, I think all it can do is use the default account. Switching it   
   manually to another account would be about all you could do.
