Description

If I receive an email via forwarding (e.g., from gmail), my reply to address is always name@pm.me instead of my specified default email address (using my own domain). I can change the email address to the one I want to use, but surely "default" means that it should use that one unless otherwise specified.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a reply to an email received through forwarding, using the web client and the configured custom-domain default address. Trace how the reply-to address is selected; done when replies use the specified default address unless the sender explicitly chooses another.
