    I have to retract what I just claimed.

    I have tested what @Nelethor claimed and it is correct. Replying to an email will automatically have the alias as sender. You can confirm this at the receiver's side. However, if you try to confirm it at your side (as sender) by vieweing the Header, you will see your primary address. This inaccuracy is in the implementation of the Proton Mail client, not due to how the actual header is.

    So it appears that the definitive say is what @ProtonUser said. The feature already exists, but It should be made clearer. Thank you all.

    @Alan Exactly. What you refer to as "Extra Alias" is actually called "My Addresses".

    Let me make things even clearer.

    The feature that others have pointed out is available is this one. Proton allows replying from the + suffix type of alias. That is, you can make an alias by using one of your addresses and suffixing it with a `+customalias`. But that exposes your address obviously. Anyone can simply remove the suffix and send you spam mail to your address. If that happens, you will be forced to delete or disable one of your limited quantity addresses.

    For that reason, we would like the ability to reply to a message sent to a hide-my-email type of alias from the same alias.

    This latter feature is certainly NOT available.

    Edit: I was wrong. Read later comment.
