It’s not Thunderbird, but I do this in Fastmail (web or app) using their “masked email” feature. Replies come from the same alias created uniquely for my Netflix account.

You can do this without masked email too. I have a wildcard alias setup so *@mydomain.tld are accepted, and I have a wildcard sending identity *@mydomain.tld

If you have a sending identity that matches with the address the email was received, on the app and webui it will reply from that address.

Disclaimer: I work at Fastmail, but not on the webui or app.

I am a Fastmail customer for 2-3 years. That was the reason, why I switched to you guys!

I've been trying to decide if I should switch from GApps to Fastmail. This is the killer feature I wanted along with unlimited domains, looks like I'll be transferring over soon.

Fastmail does SUCH a great job managing multiple addresses and domains. My favorite feature is the auto-BCC so that when I'm sending from a joint e-mail address I share with my wife, she always gets a copy.

Thanks, I didn't know this was an option. Turning on now. :)

Uh. Neat, I’ve been adding aliases individually as I needed them.

I did that too when I used Fastmail, was a right pain, wish I'd known!

It never occurred to me to try a wildcard. I was getting sick of adding sending identities in fastmail. Thanks for the tip!
