Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Mark Sapiro]

Attachment: test.eml

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180316021607

Steps to reproduce:

Open the attached message in my inbox which has the headers
From: Mark Sapiro <[e-mail]>
To: Grizzly Peak Cyclists <[e-mail]>,
 Wednesday Ride List <[e-mail]>
Reply-To: Another person <[e-mail]>

Note the issue only occurs if the message is in a folder in the [e-mail] account. If the message is opened from a file or if the From: of the message is not the account identity, the behavior is as expected.

and click 'reply'


Actual results:

The composition window had the following:
Reply-To: Another person <[e-mail]>
To: Grizzly Peak Cyclists <[e-mail]>
To: Wednesday Ride List <[e-mail]>


Expected results:

The composition window should only have

To: Another person <[e-mail]>

This is actually a feature. As you observed, if you reply to your own message, you trigger the "reply to self" function. So the e-mail goes out pretty much like the original.

I understand that this situation triggers the "reply to self" function and what it does in this case, but I'm saying that what it does in this case is wrong. If the message contains a Reply-To: which is not me, even if the From: is me, I think 'reply' should generate a reply To: the Reply-To: address and not trigger the "reply to self" function.
