Unified inbox email forwarding sets wrong sender, not the one who received the message

Since I am having 10+ e-mail accounts in a TB 115.16.0esr (latest stable on Debian 12), I am using Unified Inbox where i can read all received mail under one "folder". Though when I do it and right click received mail, select Forward as > attachment (or just Forward), then the Thunderbird wrongly sets different account of mine as a sender instead of the one which received the message.

I need to always bother checking this and switching (sometimes i forget and send from a wrong accoung, which is also a privacy issue), which is annoying and I am unsure if I have misconfigured the TB or how to fix this? Thank you

Podle mě Thunderbird přeposílá zprávy podle toho, který účet je nastavený jaké výchozí. Doporučuji zkusit nějaký doplněk, např. Identity Chooser, který by měl při přeposílání nabízet volbu "odesílacího" účtu.

Nevím, jestli to funguje i na Linuxu.
