I'm not an balsa user yet (still getting my solaris/gnome software build
env setup) so I'm talking completely off the cuff here...

Most of my email identities are based on specific inboxes.  Could balsa
add something like an X-Header line to the headers saying the message
came from inbox-A.  Then when replying, if an the X-Header line says
inbox-A then reply using indentity A?  Then even if I didn't use balsa
to collect my email I could get procmail or fetchmail to add an
appropiate X-Header line and all would be good?
