[LUG] Thunderbird erroneously sending replies from default account

[Julian Hall <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I logged this as a bug on Bugzilla months ago, and saw at the time there 
were reports going back well over a year.  In a nutshell Thunderbird 
sends replies to mail /sometimes/ from the default account, not from the 
account the mail was addressed to.  This is a major pain in the 
proverbial, not only for me but for the recipient.  For the umpteenth 
time I've just had a mail to the LUG bounce because I was replying to a 
post and Thunderbird sent it from my default julian.hall@ account 
instead of linux@ which it was addressed to.  This is extra hassle for 
people like the list admins, and a waste of time for me as I keep having 
to resend emails. Another example is it sending replies to university 
emails from the default account and not my university email it was 
addressed to.  I could go on.. but I won't.

Is there any setting in Thunderbird I can use to force it to send from 
the address the mail was sent to?  I'm using v. 38.3.0

Kind regards,

Julian
