Summary: Reply-To overrides From when replying to sender/all
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.8
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Version: 4.8 (using KDE 4.8.0)
OS: Linux
If an incoming email has Reply-To set, like for example:
From: Sender Name <[email protected]>
To: list for announcements <[email protected]>
Reply-To: [email protected]
trying to reply to the author (from) sets To address to the Reply-To address
instead of the author's address, i.e. "[email protected]" instead of
"[email protected]"
Also when trying to use the "reply to all" feature, the sender address is
omitted, i.e. the list of addresses does NOT contain "[email protected]"
There is no way to send the answer to the sender and not to Reply-To address
except for deleting the prefilled address from the reply and entering the
sender's address manually.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
see above, get an email with Reply-To set
1. hit "r" on it and examine the message being composed
2. hit "a" on it ...
3. hit "shift+A" on it ...
Actual Results:
1. "To" is set to "Reply-To" address - this is correct
2. "To" is set to "Reply-To" and "To" addresses
3. "To" is set to "Reply-To" address
Expected Results:
1. the same - "To" is set to reply-to address
2. "To" is set to "Reply-To" and "From" addresses
3. "To" is set to "From" address
While it may arguable if the case 2. should include also the original "To",
i.e. using really all concerned addresses and not just a subset (when
"Reply-To" serves as a replacement of "To"), the most important thing is that
cases 1. and 3. have to differ. The "reply to author" function is chosen
explicitly when the reply should go to the sender, overriding the implicit
mechanism of chosing the address in standard reply.
Note that this has worked as expected until kmail 4.7.4, it got broken in
4.8.0.
p.s. my case is using this with mailinglist where other headers that I haven't
mentioned like "List-Post" may have some influence - if an exact reproducer
message is needed, I'll try to refine some
