    Agreed.

    When replying to an email received via a Proton Pass hide-my-email alias, the Proton Mail client displays my real email address in the “From” field (even though the recipient correctly sees the alias). Every time I go to reply is anxiety inducing :/

    This creates constant uncertainty about whether my real email is actually hidden. Every time I reply, I’m left wondering if I accidentally leaked my address.

    Suggested fix:

    • Show the alias in the From field when composing replies, OR
    • Add clear text like “Replied using alias: [alias]” below the From field

    The privacy protection works correctly on the backend, but the UI doesn’t make this obvious. This UX gap undermines user confidence in the feature.
