164881 - Wrong sender chosen after saving news message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 137701

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[tloehnert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020826

When creating a new news message (either through composing or replying) the
sender is correctly chosen - as definded in the news account settings. If the
message is "send now" or "send later" everything is fine. But if I chose to
"save" the message and then re-open it from the "drafts"-folder it contains the
sender address of the default account (which is in my case a mail-account). If I
correct this, save it again and reopen it, then again the wrong sender is put
in. My only chance now is: open message from "drafts", correct it, and chose
"send now" ore "send later" immediately

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a subscribed news group, choose an existing message + hit the reply button
2. the sender field contains the correct news-address
2. save the newly created message
3. re-open it from the "drafts" folder

Actual Results:  
the sender field always contains the sender address of the default account -
even if this is not a news account

Expected Results:  
the sender field should contain the sender address defined through the news
account settings (which of course *can* be the default account but normally is not)

A simple search for "draft account" would have brought up bug 137701. Please
