Because on reply you already know who the recipients were, and can  
already set the identity in the link the opens the compose window. And  
this works independently from the number of recipients. If you compose  
a new message, you can only detect the identity while the user is  
editing the To: field.
Beside requiring some additional javascripting, there are some open questions:
- Should the identity be changed without further interaction of the  
user, aka auto-magically?
- Should be bind to the first found address or the last one?
- How do we reliably parse email addresses from recipient strings?
