Bug ID: 366356
Summary: Reply action picks the wrong To address
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.1.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: commands and actions
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ja...@jmbeck.com
When replying to an email address that is configured as an account in Kmail,
the Reply button inserts the To email address into the To field, instead of the
>From address into the To field.
This behavior is tricky, because when I replied to the first account, the
second account was actually replying to itself! Very confusing.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up Kmail with two (or more?) email accounts. Let's say the accounts are
a...@mail.com and b...@mail.com. Set up an identity for each email address.
2. Send an email from a...@mail.com to b...@mail.com (be sure to use the
appropriate identity).
3. In the Inbox of bbb, select the received message and press the Reply button
(or press the R shortcut key).
Actual Results:
I get b...@mail.com in the To field. This means b...@mail.com is sending a
message (with his own identity) to himself.
Expected Results:
I expect that the To field would show a...@mail.com, because that is the address
in the From field.
Note that you can do the reverse: send an email from bbb to aaa, and reply to
bbb from aaa. You'll find that a...@mail.com is in the To field instead of
b...@mail.com. It only seems to matter that both accounts are configured in
Kmail. For email addresses not configured as accounts, the Reply action puts
the proper email address in the To field.
I see nothing in the header of my mails to that makes this behavior
understandable. It's not a mailing list.
