Depends on what you think an alias is.  To me an alias is an address
that should be treated like something else. So if an address of 
fred blogs com is the main address and joe blogs com is an alias, then
I would expect that if mail arrives with a To: address of
joe blogs com, Evolution will treat it like fred blogs com. So when you
press reply, the reply will come from fred blogs com.

If you are expecting to treat fred@ and joe@ differently, then they are
not aliases, they are separate addresses that happen to be in the same
folder (possibly).
