      1. Go to Account Settings
      2. Enable Reply from this identity when delivery headers match

      4. Close/confirm all your changes
      5. Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
      6. The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.

      I click on my “From” address and then select “Customize From Address…”. I can then type anything I want up there. It’s a little annoying when replying to an email chain with an alias, but not too many steps.

        See my other reply, you can automate this with a setting so you don’t have to edit it manually every time.
