I brought this up before, but now I have more information. Well, I had 
it then, but didn't notice it.

When I get an email from PLUG, the To: address is not my address but 
plug@lists.pdxlinux.org. According to what I've read about replying at 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_identities_per_e-mail_account, 
Thunderbird is supposed to use the default From: address when it doesn't 
recognize the To: address. What it does instead is to use the first 
account in the list of accounts as the From: address.

I notice the problem when I don't see my signature block, since I don't 
have a signature block for the first account in the list. I can always 
change the From in the composition window for the reply, which is what 
I've been doing for at least a couple of years. Now that I see that the 
problem is related to the original message's To address, I'm hoping to 
find a solution.

There appear to be several different solutions referenced on that 
mozillazine site. What isn't clear is which one to use. Folder Account, 
from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/folder-account/, 
looks like it might be the thing I need. Has anyone else encountered 
this problem? What solution works for you?
