I’d like to suggest an improvement to how aliases are handled.
Current behaviour
When I send an email using a SimpleLogin reverse alias (e.g. pat.test@slmail.me), the recipient correctly sees the alias in the From field. However, when I forward or reply to that same message, ProtonMail automatically changes the From field back to my real ProtonMail address (pat.example@proton.me).
Why this matters
This creates an unintended privacy leak. The main reason many of us use aliases is to protect our real email address, but any forward or reply can expose it.
Suggested improvement
When replying to or forwarding a message that was originally sent via an alias, ProtonMail should default to (or at least remember and offer) that same alias in the From field.
This small change would make the alias feature significantly more robust and privacy-preserving.
Thanks for considering this request — I believe many users who rely on aliases for privacy would really appreciate it.
