I have many identities, in my so-called real life and in The Bat!, too. My reply to this specific mailing list should be from that address, and carry a special Organization header, messages to Julia need a very special sender name, and so on.

Fortunately, The Bat! has a very flexible identity system that makes it possible, and even easy, to automate the process of specifying sender name, address, and organization — per folder. Every folder in The Bat! can have a special, custom identity assigned to it that The Bat! will automatically use if you reply to a message in the folder or start a new email while the folder is open.
To specify a default identity for a folder in The Bat!:
- Highlight the desired folder in the folder list.
- Select Folder | Properties... from the menu.
- Go to the Identity tab.
- Enter the desired sender and reply-to information.
- Click OK.
Note that specifying a different identity (naturally) only works for folders you have created. Inbox, Outbox, Sent Mail and Trash always use the account's default identity.
