You can make a function to change the `user-mail-address' variable,
and call it from `message-setup-hook'.  Not that I approve of it, but
Gnus is (as always) giving you a possibility.

I don't think so.  The practice seems to show that many of them don't
even grab the `Reply-To' header, let alone `Sender'.
