Hello,
I am another user of Sylpheed (in Debian).

Personally, I can reproduce the reported issue, but with a difference.

In order to reproduce, configure at least two e-mail accounts in
Sylpheed.
Let's call them:

  * Albert AtWork
  * Bert BeachBum

Let's say that "Albert AtWork" is the default account.

Send an e-mail message from "Bert BeachBum" to your friend "Frank
Friend".
Now reply to your own e-mail message, with the intent to write again
from "Bert BeachBum" to "Frank Friend".

The original bug reporter claims that the reply is prepared from the
default account "Albert AtWork", instead of from the previously used
account "Bert BeachBum".

What I experience personally, is that the reply is prepared from the
currently selected account (not necessarily from the default account).
If you select "Bert BeachBum" (menu entry 'Configuration' → 'Change
current account'), and then use the 'Reply' command, the reply will be
prepared from "Bert BeachBum", as intended.
On the other hand, if you select "Albert AtWork" as current account,
the reply will be prepared from "Albert AtWork".

Well, this may make sense, after all.
If I have selected an account as current, I mean that I want to send
e-mail messages from that account.

On the other hand, when I reply to an e-mail message sent to one of my
accounts (for instance from "Frank Friend" to "Bert BeachBum"), that
account is automatically selected, when I use the 'Reply' command, even
if it was not the current account.

Hence, what the original bug reporter is asking may be considered as
useful feature.
But I would not consider it as a bug of severity "grave".
Maybe the severity should be set to "important" or "normal", or even
"wishlist"...

I hope this helps.
Bye!
