Description

### What Happened?

See subject line. From a search, I can see where #956 was supposed to have fixed this issue, but it is not working for me. I can't seem to find anything in the settings that would enable or disable this behavior, so not sure if there is something I need to do. But when I receive an email to an alias, and then hit reply, the "From" is set to the primary email address, and in order to send a reply from the email to which the message, I have to choose the alias from a dropdown. When you manage a lot of aliases, this makes Mail completely unusable.

### Steps to Reproduce

Receive a message to an alias; click reply.

### Expected Behavior

I expect the from field to be set automatically to the recipient of the original email. It was indicated in #956 that this was fixed, but it is not working for me.

### OS Version

7.x (Horus)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)
