Unfortunately when I reply to a mail, claws automatically fills in my primary e-mail address in the from-field, which is absolutely not desired. I always have to edit the from-field by hand to change it to the e-mail address originally used by the sender, i.e. the e-mail address saved in the former to-field.

The solution I've suggested is obviously not ideal in such situation,
but you would have saved me few minutes of life by saying first what
situation you were exactly in. You're obviously not a human being but a
robot or some kind of heartless automatism, probably not deserving to
use a MUA like Claws Mail but a MTA in a house of scripts that would
rewrite headers accordingly to your needs. Good luck with all your 400
database-wildcarded email adresses, robot!
