You must select the correct From field from the drop-down menu.

This would be the default solution, but the reported issue is likely about a regression, fixed by bug 1254666 as of Thunderbird 45.3.0.

Selecting another "From" using the drop-down worked in the past (no exact version) but it no longer works with 45.1.1. Something is broken here. No better result with all Add-ons disabled.

Tried to dig deeper into this issue. Selecting another "From" using the drop-down is still possible for messages that were originally sent from myself. However, this worked for messages from other senders, too. And it should. I used this feature using any message as kind of a template when writing a new one. This current limitation is a bug.
