You can add the From field to the compose window. The From menu will only appear if you have two different SMTP servers set up in Mail, essentially two accounts. If you only have one account set up, there won't be a From popup menu.

Also, in the Preferences, you can set which account you want as default, or have it auto-select the best match. For instance, if you have two accounts, it will auto-reply using the one the original message came into.
