This has been discussed several times in the past on this mailing list. 
the short answer is "currently - no". for the reasons of why it cannot 
be done (well, at least until someone figures a clever way to do it ;-) 
- read the mailing list archive.

Some of these settings can be configured using the configuration file 
(read the documentation) others can be set per message using the
