Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If I have several emails, and send a mail with one of them (not the main one), I get the reply, but when I'm going to reply I have to reselect the mail which I want to use, it doesn't follow the reply thread, it just selects the main alias as default.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like it to automatically follow the reply thread with the alias that the exchange started
