Why do you need to switch accounts? Are you not replying from the same 
account (address) that these emails are sent to?

I'm not an expert on the use of Keyboard Maestro. There are shortcuts to 
open the menus (⌃⌘I and ⌃⌘S) and then some automated 
arrowing-down would be needed. Maybe someone else can provide a clear 
answer.

Templated replies are still very experimental, but it's possible using 
the `replyMessage` output action for bundle commands described earlier 
today on this mailing list. That is still very low level and probably 
not a viable solution for you. It would be possible though to create a 
bundle using this feature which provided a GUI for selecting template 
answers, but I cannot promise anything like that soon. (It might even be 
possible to control signature and from-address, but I'm not 100% sure 
about that.)

They are not going to help in this case I believe.
