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. -Bernt
