Assign Mail Account to Use for Certain Recipients

[Alan]

I use Outlook 2002 and have two mail accounts that transfer their
messages to Outlook via pop3. I have my gmail account set up as my
default account to use for new messages but I don't like the way gmail
handles messages I post to mail lists. Gmail will not pop3 messages I
post to the list server back to Outlook when the list distributes them
to all subscribers. Gmail treats my list-distributed messages as being
copies of my original sent post and will not transfer it via pop3.

I want to use my ISP mail account for purposes of any mail lists to
which I subscribe. If I do so, I won't to know if I can assign that
ISP mail account to be used whenever I send messages to those list
addresses. Since gmail is my default pop3 mail account, I'm afraid I
will forget to select my ISP mail account to use when posting to mail
lists. Is there a way within Outlook to assign a specific mail account
to use when sending messages to certain addresses? Thanks for your
help.

Sorry, you can't assign an account to a contact.

If you enable the gmail option to POP everything, does than make a
difference?
