Then it strikes me that all you need to do is look at the X-Envelope-To: field 
in your filter. Ingo is quite correct, you can enter this as a filter field, 
and it should do what you want. However, since you can already filter the 
mail and set the folder properties to include a reply default address, I 
still don't see the point, if all you really want to do is make sure when you 
reply to a specific email you use a specific ID, unless you're filtering 
emails addressed to differing email addresses into the same folder.
