1368553 - Cannot "Reply All" to From: when Reply-To: field appears in header

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1354636

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Erik Krause]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #77304 +++

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3 i686; en-US; rv:0.8.1+) Gecko/20010423
BuildID:    2001042323

In a mail containing both a Reply-To: and From: header entries, replies cannot
be made to address in From: field. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send an e-mail to oneself with a Reply-To: field
2.Reply to it (using Reply All)

This was solved for Mailing lists, where a List-Post: header is present. Where this header is not present but Reply-To: is set, there is no possibility to reply to the original sender.

Yes, that's the idea behind Reply-To:

WONTFIX, Magnus?

I know that's the idea. However, the new behavior (fix for bug 77304) for mailing lists is to ignore the Reply-To: header if normal reply button is pressed, which shows that the idea apparently isn't that strict. Why not at least include the From: address when using Reply-All?

This has been widely discussed here: Bug 1354636. Result: WONTFIX.
