I use gnus-posting-styles to set header information for outgoing mail
based on the current folder I'm in.  For me this changes the name, email
address, signature, organization, and X-URL based on which email folder
I reply or create mail from.

I also presort my mail into folders before any MUA sees the mail (mine
are on a private IMAP server) and normally read mail from the inbox the
mail was sorted to.  Then I just reply without having to think about
setting the identity since the gnus-posting-styles rules creates the
proper headers.
