OL 2007. Email identities. Reply to mail from differing addres

I have a slight variant on Mike's situation. I've created a separate
pop3 box for each recipient (info@..., mike@... etc), and then set up
separate accounts in Outlook (all under the same personality) so that
each account downloads mail from its specific pop3 box into its own
Inbox. That all works fine, and I can view all the inboxes in the
same window. I can also set up signatures and reply-to addresses for
each account, so you might think that the problem would be solved.
But for some reason, Outlook imposes a global default on the reply-to
address (as far as I can see), so you have to select manually the
signature/reply-to for each reply. It's no big deal doing this,
especially if you set the global default to the account with most
traffic, but it does seem strange that you cannot apply a default
depending on which account inbox you are replying from. That would
give the same reply-to functionality as Thunderbird.
Do these accounts all truly access separate server mailboxes, or are thay
actually aliases of each other (i.e., do you use the same credentials in the
account definitions to access the server(s))?

Yes, they are accessing separate mailboxes operating under different domain
names.
Having now spent the weekend getting to grips with Outlook, I find that
actually the correct reply-to address & signature are indeed picked up
according to the inbox I am replying from. It is only a new email which
prompts for the reply-to account to use, as you would expect. So I'm happy.
Thanks
