I second the recommendation of gnus-alias. I have rules set up to set my
email address automatically depending on the "To" or "Cc" line. And, as
others have mentioned, there's the built-in gnus-posting-styles.

I used wanderlust for a while and it has excellent "role" functionality
built-in (via the variables wl-draft-config-alist and
wl-template-alist).
