Answering back from "Hide my email" issues

[Yoms]

Hi,

I'm using Apple Mail on my MBP (Sonoma 14.7).

Here's the sequence of what I do that leads to my issue:

1) I write first a new e-mail to example@website.com and select "Hide my email" in the drop-down menu (OK)

2) Someone from website.com replies to my "Hide my email" address (OK)

3) I hit the "reply" button in order to reply back and there come the issues:

➡︎ Apple Mail uses the e-mail address that is configured to be my default address in the app as the sending address. So I have to manually change that before sending my reply. Why on earth doesn't Apple Mail select the previously generated "Hide my email" address?

➡︎ If I manually select "Hide my email" in the drop-down menu (because of previous issue), a new address is generated; it's not using the same as the one generated at step #1.

➡︎ I actually need to select the email address that is associated with the "Hide my email" feature, in my case my Apple account e-mail. It's quite confusing to see this very address I'm trying to hide as the sender.

Is this the normal behaviour?

Thanks.

this is not normal. just check with a news letter subscription I used a hide my email-adress: hitting reply puts that address as sender, not the “primary” icloud account.

What did you exactly see in the sender field in that specific scenario of yours? Was "Hide my email" displayed in the sender field? Or was it the address that is used to forward the messages to?
