1704390 - Adding or removing an address from a mailing list does not update the list pill in the recipient area of the compose window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Eremos_21]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0

Steps to reproduce:

if I add (or delete) an email address in an address book mailing list and go back to the main email editing module

Actual results:

by entering the name of the mailing list (via Write- For (or CC or Bcc)), the new email address does not appear (or, if I deleted it in the mailing list, it still appears).

Expected results:

Changes to the mailing list made in the address book (additions or deletions) should be reflected when using this list in the main email writing module

Worksforme on TB 107.0a1 (2022-09-22) (64-bit), and 102.3.0 (64-bit), Win10.

This should have a dedicated testcase.

STR

• create a mailing list called thelist with [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail]
• Write, type thelist in To field, confirm - list pill created.
• In address book, add or remove addresses from the list, e.g. add [e-mail], or remove [e-mail]
• Go back to write window, right-click on list and Expand list.
• Alternatively, File > Send later (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

Actual == Expected Result

• After expanding or sending later, recipients expanded from the list should match the last list update, i.e. removed members should be excluded, and added members should be included in the expanded set of recipients.
