Clicking "reply" replies to the recipient (me) if the sender (me) is also in Thunderbird and the recipient was aliased

Scenario: I have two E-Mails configured in thunderbird. For simplicity, let's assume they are: `alice@gmail.com` and `bob@cock.li` .
I have configured both via SMTP, and they are *totally different* SMTP servers (Gmail vs. cock.li)
If I compose a message from "alice@gmail.com" to "bob@cock.li", then when I reply from Bob's inbox in Thunderbird, everything is OK.
However, if I compose a message from "alice@gmail.com" to "bob.extra@cock.li", using the `.` alias feature of cock.li, then although Bob gets the message in his inbox, clicking "Reply" will actually set "From" as "alice@gmail.com" and "To" as "bob.extra@cock.li" !
To be very clear: this happens when clicking reply in Bob's inbox in Thunderbird.
I think this is a Thunderbird issue because:
- It happens even if I compose the E-Mail from Alice's webmail (i.e. Browser) (Note: Alice still exists in Thunderbird)
- It DOES NOT happen if Alice DOES NOT exist in Thunderbird
- It DOES NOT happen if I try and reply as Bob via cock.li's webmail (i.e. Browser)
My guess is somehow when Thunderbird sees both Alice and Bob as valid accounts in Thunderbird, but the recipient was an aliased version of Bob, it somehow gets confused.
Here are example received headers for an actual demo I tried. (poiasd@saxrag.com is main E-Mail, abuse@saxrag.com is an alias. poiasdpoiasd@cock.li is the sender)
