Steps to reproduce:

After sending an email, I want to send another one taking advantage of the email I just sent, with a forward, to one or to all, it doesn't matter, the sender of the message is not me, but the first email account that appears in the TO.
There was a previous BUG that indicated as solved, but it is not solved again in version 115.4.x.

Actual results:

Composed email have incorrect sender, but I can change it.

Expected results:

Composed mail should have as sender my account (default account).

You'll have to give more exact steps of what you did and what you think went wrong.

You shouldn't reply to random emails to copy over recipients. You realize that keeps the thread so the message appears in another unrelated conversation for people?

A reply to your own email is treated as a follow-up so original recipients are kept.

Hi Magnus,

Nice talking to you.

Probably, but if I need to complete the previously sent mail with additional information, we do it this way, and it has always worked well with previous versions. It is from version 115 onwards that it has started to malfunction.

I attached screenshots for this steps

Thanks and best regards.

Is the first recipient account also set up as account, or identity for you?
Did you perhaps enable "Reply from this identity.... " in the account settings?

I have done this test:

1. I created a new gmail account, and set it up in my thunderbird.
2. I sent a new email to my personal and work email accounts.
3. I replied this email (2) to the same accounts... and with the new account it works fine....
   I don't get it.

I've found other thing...
Seems that sender is correct, but is an Display information error... see attached screenshot...
In squared field, before send a replied email, i've change with any random account (not exist), and send it...
In attached screenshot, seems that sender is correct, but displayed information no.
