If i set the answering-options in the generell settings like "Begin answer over

There actually is no "general preference" -- each identity has its own setting, 
which is set when the identity is created.  I believe the initial values for a 
secondary identity are inherited from the account's current default identity.
Making a change to one identity does not change any other identity.
