Making the from address in a reply the same as the "sent to" address

I'm receiving mail addressed to some 30 aliases in the same account. As most of these addresses are task oriented, I filter them to separate folders.
For those folders I've set the identity (somewhere in the folder properties) to the matching address. Now when I send a mail from one of those folders, the From: address as defined for that folder is being used. This method suits me best.

Another option would be to use a macro like this in your reply template:
%From="%OTo"%-
This will place the old To: header in the From: header of the new message. Note that this will cause you problems as soon as you're replying to a message that has multiple recipients in the T: header, where you were mentioned as CC: or BCC: and finally when you're replying to messages from a mailing list.

Can any one advise if I give someone an address different to the default address for an account, how can I make the from address in a reply email equal to that address automatically rather than the account default address. I hope you can understand what I mean. Regards, Jeff
