To confirm that such a facility exists elsewhere (I could not find it in 
the claws-mail user manual), for reference to the facility in 
Thunderbird, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1383413 .

If none of the users can answer the query of the OP, perhaps, Paul, who 
is, I believe,the developer of claws-mail, can answer whether the 
functionality is available in claws-mail, and, if so, how to implement it.
