Yes, it does. My use case is not generalist, since I do not have any rules that I can write beforehand, but from time to time someone addresses me at the wrong email identity. I was somehow looking for a function that could set up those fields you mentioned in the reply process, but if it is not straightforward, I am sticking with my procedure: move the message to the group it should belong, and then benefit from its posting style when replying.
