How can I pick the default 'from' address when starting a new email while browsing a saved search?

Normally when you starting to write a new email, Thunderbird will set the 'from' address to the address of the account whose mailbox you're current browsing.

However, I have a saved search that entirely contains email from my secondary (work) account, but if I start a new email while browsing it, it picks my default (home) email address. This has caused me to accidentally send emails from the wrong address more than once!

Is there any way to change it so that it'll set the 'from' field of new emails to my work email when browsing that specific saved search?

if the to in the email matches an identity (that is the details in the account settings above the server settings) then that should be used before the default account is selected. (note that you can have multiple identities in a single incoming account to cover using the server to collect mail from multiple accounts.)

I'm afraid I don't follow. Are you talking about replying to an email? In that case the email I'm replying to would have a 'to' field with one of my email addresses in it. But my question is about writing a new email, not replying, which is why I'm confused.
