1919144 - mailto link with bcc not working -puts bcc in to - IFF no account is configured

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[JMO]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to open a mailto link, e. g.: mailto:[e-mail]?bcc=[e-mail]

TB 128.2.1esr (32-Bit)
Windows Version 10.0.19045.4894
TB is set as default e-mail app

Actual results:

A new compose window opens. Only the "To" field is set to "[e-mail]". The bcc field is empty.

Expected results:

A new compose window should have opened. The "to" field should be set to "[e-mail]" and the "bcc" field should be set to "[e-mail]".

That works for me (on linux, but that should not be OS specific).

Comment 2

[JMO]

Maybe helptful: The instance I used did have zero configured accounts. I used a fresh profile.

Comment 3

[JMO]

Tried it with a Thunderbird instance that had a profile configured. Works as expected. Not a bug but a feature?

Comment 4

I see that. If there's no account configured, it shouldn't be putting up the compose window at all - nothing will work. It should send the user to set up an account.

Instead, just open a 3pane so the user can set up an account first. Composing without an account won't obviously work,
and lead to strange bug reports like this.

Not worth uplifting I think.
