This suggestion has been around for a while.  See, for example,
http://www.mail-archive.com/evolution-list gnome org/msg04095.html
(from August 2006).  I thought I had added this to the bugzilla
features-requested list, but I can't find it there.  What I was
asking for then is pretty much the same as, or a subset of, what
Anderson describes:  I would like the default place where an
outgoing Reply is filed would be the same folder where the
message being replied to is filed.  I guess this would require
either holding the reply for filing at the same time as the
incoming is filed (usually after the reply is sent), or else
using a drop-down to select where both will be filed while still
writing the reply, or thirdly, looking in the user's contact list
to see where mail from a given correspondent should be filed and
requesting a folder selection only if not found there.
