When I reply to a message, where the sender is one of my identities, my default identity is taken as recipient

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an Email-Account (Imap or Pop) with email-Adress [e-mail] and an additional identity [e-mail]
2. Receive an message from: [e-mail] to: [e-mail]
3. Reply to this message
Actual Results:  
To: is [e-mail] (default identity)

Expected Results:  
To: is [e-mail]

This is an regression, in Thunderbird 1.5.x everything was ok

Yes, this is per design. TB 2 treats reply to self as a follow-up. 

In testing it may be a bit confusing if you don't know about it, but for normal operation it's very helpful.
