Well, that's what both alias addresses and addresses tied to a identity 
are used for. When you reply to an email that was sent to an address 
listed in an identity (either as the default address or as alias address 
or as tied-to address), this identity will be chosen by default. When 
the address is listed in the identity as an alias, it will also be 
removed from the list of recipients when replying to all. Of course you 
can always override this by choosing a different identity from the 
drop-down box in the "From" field (available only if you have configured 
more than one identity).
