From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020415 BuildID: 2002041503 Couldn't find a bug ID for this one yet: When using different e-mail accounts for day-to-day mail and subscribing to newsgroups, a mess up exists when a newsgroup message is composed but saved as draft before posting. It is composed using the account under which you subscribe to the newsgroup, but saved as draft on LOCAL FOLDERS under your main account. When sending the stored message it is therefore send under the MAIN account name, and not the one used to subscribe to the newsgroup Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.subscribe to a newsgroup message with something else than your REGULAR mail account 2.compose a newsgroup message 3.save the draft and close the compose window 4.the message is saved under LOCAL FOLDERS - DRAFTS 5.when opening (and sending) it will use your DEFAULT account as the sender, and NOT the account you used to subscribe to the newsgroup. Actual Results: main e-mail account is specified as the sender of the post Expected Results: the e-mail account subscribed to the newsgroup should be the sender for me this is highly annoying because now my main account is listed in newsgroups. This is bad because i write these postings on a personal title (can lead to conflict of interest) and it is a cause of spam (privacy)
