I agree with this proposal.

Yes, this this would be cool, I already to planned to ask for this / start
to implement this after the release, because I want to change the
indentity handling of knode to something similar to the indentity handling of 
kmail.

My wishlist:

1) It should be possible to modify the indentities from the configuration
   dialogs of kmail and knode. I don't think we should force the user
   to install kdebase.
2) It would be nice if a program could define additional properties, for
   example the "mail-copies-to" property needed by knode.
