        Hi,
your version is very old (two years means a lot even for Evolution).
It's possible it had been fixed meanwhile, though I cannot find the
exact commit by a naive search in the NEWS files. I recall a similar
bug, but I do not know when, or whether at all, it had been fixed.
Testing on the current stable (it's 3.36.1 at the moment), might be a
good idea.

Nonetheless, I suppose the freenet account is the default account (as
can be seen in Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts), while the vivaldi
account is not. Is the forwarded message received in a folder, which is
dedicated to the vivaldi account (being it IMAP, then in its IMAP
folder, possibly Inbox), or it's in a folder of another account (or On
This Computer)? These things play a role in the way of the send account
guess. If I'm not mistaken, you might get preselected the same From
account when replying "manually" to the message from the same folder
(aka the one before filtering it).
        Bye,
        Milan
