gnus-alias-use-identity takes a little setting up (not too
much though) but is much more flexible. I probably have 20
contexts set up and in the end it makes switching among them
very easy. For instance, sometimes I want to be a clueless AOL
user, sometimes I want to be an alum of my undergrad
university, and sometimes I even just want to be myself.

Take the time to set up gnus-alias-identity list to suit your
needs and wishes, and when you're comfortable with that go to
the next level with gnus-alias-identity-rules, which allows for
some automated identity selection. For instance certain
"friends" always get mail from my netzero identity; if someone
writes to a deprecated address they weill get a reply from my
preferred identity.
