You can configure that sort of thing to your heart's desire with mutt. You can have "hooks" to change your ID depending on current folder, recipient, etc. For instance, I've configured it to use my old address for mailing lists, to try and keep newer ones away from spammers. You can also configure your fcc, signature, custom headers, etc using these hooks. Combined with procmail for filtering your incoming mail and sorting it into different mailboxes it is very convenient. (I heard pine can now be configured to do this sorting on startup; mutt can't, but I think procmail is a nicer solution anyway.)
