Looking for a certain Mail function

This is a very specific, er, thing. I have one e-mail account, and in the Real Name field, I have my Real name. I am subscribed to many mailing lists, which filter into different folders thanks to mail rules. As you know, if you use a recent mail program, that whatever you have as your Real Name shows up as the sender to the recipient. Since I have so many mailing lists, I would like to be able to change the Real Name to the corresponding user name for each of my mailing lists when sending mail, without having to go into Mail > Preferences > Accounts > My Account > Real Name every time. Perhaps if there was a way that it would change if I selected Compose while viewing a certain mailbox. I don't know how it would happen, but I have some ideas. Any one know? I don't know a thing about Applescript but I'd be willing to try if thatll work.

You could set up multiple copies of the same account with only the real name field changed on each, perhaps?
 
I thought about that, but I have such a large volume of e-mail, I don't want to risk getting five duplicate copies of every single message, unless I can set an account to outgoing only and not download anything.
