168958 - Returning recept confirmation fails if Inbound/Outbound addresses are different

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 168959

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Andreas Troschka]

PSE see (fixed) Bug #154014

As seen in the referenced bug, who receives a Disposition-Notification must be
able to distinguish (and act consequently) when the sender uses different
addresses for inbound and outbound.
 
This new Bug is related to the other peer (sender of e-mail with
Disposition-Notification).
The sender must be able to specify a different Return-Receipt-To address while
composing his message (willing to set a Disposition-Notification).

This, actually, is not possible in Mozilla due to an incomplete iplementation of
the Mail notification process (see RFC2298 and RFC822).

The process may flow as follows:

a)Open new mail composer
b)Check box "Disposition Notification"
c)Write Destination address(es) in field To: 
d)Approve proposed Return-Receipt-To address(es) (automatically taken from
address book for the destination addresses specified)
d2)Otherwise select from listbox or edit directly
e)compose message and send.

So far...

Andreas Troschka.
