You might want to look through the archives for the regexen option - I
use it for this purpose (although it only solves your reply-to case).

Add something like

:regexen:
  - my.name+.*@gmail.com

to your settings on an account (you can use regexes here and have more
than one if you want, but the one above will work in your case). This
allows sup to recognise your mail "aliases" and replies to incoming
mails addressed to these emails with the correct from address
automagically.

It wont help for mails you compose (ie "new" mails, not replies), but
it works well for replies.
