How do I assign a particular email account of mine to a particular Address-Book contact?

I have a few email accounts. I am also on several 'Email Lists'.

when I am reading an email from one of the "Lists" and I want to reply, then I'd like Thunderbird to use the correct email account to match the contact in the address book which is associated with the Email List.

So how do I assign a particular email account of mine to a particular Address-Book contact?

Thunderbird will default to the account the mail came in on.

Thank you for the reply. Thunderbird may do that. Somewhere.

However, as I test this theory, in my own "Local Folders" area, in all cases, when I hit 'Reply' or reply-all, Thunderbird uses the 'Default' email account of the program Thunderbird, for want of a better description.

Recall that each incoming Email is filtered as to some criteria then placed in appropriate "Local Folders" named folder.
