Send from different e-mail account depending on contact or category

[Arlen Stalwick]

Okay, here's the problem: I have two e-mail accounts - one personal
and one business account. When I send a mail to my friends / personal
contacts, I'd like the message to be sent through my personal account.
When I send a mail to business contacts, I definitely *do not* want
the mail sent through my personal account, I want it sent through my
work account.

It's annoying (and error prone) to have to remember to click the 'Send
using account' button on each mail...

Is there a way, in outlook, to say "if contact is in the category
'business,' send using account A, otherwise send using account B" ?
Or, is there a way to set that per contact - is there an option in
the contact properties that'll let me say "use account A for all
communication with this contact"?

Outlook does not have any way of maintaining per-contact or per-category
account settings.
