Thunderbird fails to enter correct FROM address when forwarding received email as attachment. FROM address should be the one which received the mail.

When I receive email in Thunderbird software (128.6.0esr - latest stable for my distribution), right click it, select "Forward and Redirect" and then "As attachment", the FROM email address is set to my default SMTP server account email address (Edit > Account settings > scroll down to the bottom and click "Outgoing server (SMTP)" ).

On another hand when i just reply same email, it uses correct FROM address of mine (the one which received the mail). How to fix it so the Forwarding as attachment does not use my default email, but the email of mine, which received the now forwarded message?

I think that it should be default for privacy reason so TB does not help me accidentally "contaminate" my recipient identity with my main/default identity.

For the time being, use the drop down on the FROM address and select the address you want.
