1096799 - Mails not flagged as 'answered' when moving them to other folders while sending a reply

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 268589

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[paulh]

Attachment: Shows two messages that have both be responded to, but only one is flagged correctly.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141107015457

Steps to reproduce:

I open a message from my Inbox and type a reply. Upon hitting SEND, I use the FILE dropdown button to move the message away from my Inbox to a sub folder. I often complete this before the message is actually sent out (connecting to the server and sending takes a few moment, especially on a slower connection).


Actual results:

The original message is NOT flagged as 'ANSWERED' (no blue arrow next to the subject), leading the user to think the message has not been responded to.


Expected results:

The message should be flagged as 'ANSWERED', independently from moving the message during the sending process or not.
