change signature based on recipients (evolution)

Hi,

A while ago I played around with claws, & thunderbird as alternatives to
evolution.

The one feature I really miss from claws is the ability to change the
signature depending on the recipients list. If the recipient address
was in a domain (eg anyone [at] somecompany) I could include the official
business signature, otherwise I have simpler ones for internal mail and
friends.

I know I can set the signature based on the source account, but that's
not quite enough for my multiple personalities :) :( ;)

Does anyone know of such a plugin for evolution? Or some way around it
based on outgoing filters perhaps? I would be happy for the mail to get
stuck in my outbox instead of sending... Google turned up nada.

Unfortunately thunderbird had immature search folders which made it hard
for me to sort my thousands of work emails. Claws was pretty good,
however it had other limitations and I found the gui a little immature.
(In both cases immature meaning slightly buggy or still being developed,
not meaning stupid/childish :) kmail is out since I run gnome.

any ideas? thanks,

If you use Postfix as an outgoing mail server (running on your box, if
necessary, then relaying to your company's server) this is probably
easy. I'm not sure if that's the way you want to do this, but I think
it's one approach.

I don't, I just send straight to various smtp servers, but thanks, I'll
leave that as plan-B :)
