Thunderbird defaults to first of my email addresses to send a meeting invitation acceptance, rather than the mail address the invite sent to
First, I'm not using Lightning. I don't want Thunderbird to create calendar entries, etc. I just want to be able to click Accept on an invitation I receive, and that response be sent from the email address the invite was sent to.
At the moment it gets sent from the first email account address in the list of email accounts under Settings.
This seems rather odd, since when I press Reply or Reply all when I am have the invite open, the email account that comes up is the one that it was sent to, rather than any other. In addition, even if an email is sent to an incorrect address, if I choose to reply to it, I have a choice of changing the From email address. This option does not seem to be available in invite responses.
Neither of the accounts in question is gmail

Unfortunately that isn't the problem.
It isn't the normal Reply that is the problem. That works perfectly.
The problem only occurs when I click on the Accept or Decline button on the invitation. This creates a response that gets sent as though from the first email account address in the list of email accounts under Settings. It shouldn't.
The response should be sent from the email account that the invite has been sent to.
The SMTP server for each of the accounts (the 1st one on the list and the one that receives the invite) are different .
Let me know if you need more info.
The Fitzcarraldo's Blog page (link in answer above) has provided a very simple solution that would apply to my case, since I only receive invitations that need a response to 1 work email address. Thanks for the help.
