Thunderbird does not use the email address the mail was sent to by default when replying

When replying to an email that is sent to my alias address, Thunderbird uses my actual email address in the reply email unless I manually change it. This should be either automatically the same address the email was sent to or at least optionally selectable choice in preferences instead just always using my default email address.

Longer version: 1) I order something from Acme Inc. I give them my alias email in format of [email protected]. 2) there is an issue with the order. Acme Inc contacts me by sending email to [email protected] 3) I get the email. I reply by pressing the reply option in Thunderbird 4) Thunderbird sets my sender address as [email protected] instead of using the email address [email protected] the email was sent to 5) Before sending the email I will have to manually go and type in the address that I want to use so that a) my actual email address is revealed to automatic systems b) I can potentially be able to see who leaked my email address and where (marketing, spam, ..)

The format of the email address is not an issue. The email address used when replying is.

Please make it so, that when pressing the reply button the same email address the message was sent to will be used by default, or atleast add this as an option for the user to select in the preferences.

The fact that email programs have junk (e)mail options does not remove the fact that junk mail still happens and the actual solution is to remove unwanted junk at the server, not the client level (we have many, many, nice devices, don't we).

Is the alias defined in the 'manage identities' section?

It is helpful in the sense that it works. If I log that email address I used it is is flagged as ok in there. But, alas, I need and want to make it so, that when I reply to someone, I do not need to first register that email address as being ok. So. Read my first comment again, please.

You didn't answer my question. Thunderbird is not aware of your alias when delivering mail.

Again. Read my question and also my reply to your question again. Thank you :)
