Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create message filter to copy all sent mail to a local folder when sent
  2. Compose a new message from scratch
  3. Send an email with the subject "Re: example"

Actual results:

  1. Email with subject "Re: example" is placed in the IMAP sent folder
  2. Copy of the same email is stored in the local folder with subject "example"

Expected results:

The subject of the email stored in the IMAP sent folder should match the copy in local folders. In other words, the filter should not strip "Re: " from the subject when copying to local folders.

Summary: "Re :" stripped by filter when sent email copied to local folder → "Re: " stripped by filter when sent email copied to local folder

Thanks, that's already being addressed in bug 2008314.

I think the "Re: " is "stored", it just doesn't show. Does is show when you repair the folder? That's only meant as an observation/workaround.

Yes Francesco, repairing the folder does indeed make "Re: " appear on the existing sent messages copied to Local Folders by filters. Subsequent sent emails with "Re: " still have the "Re: " stripped off though so there's still some issue somewhere which I'm guessing the other bug report will address. But it's a decent temporary workaround so thanks for that.
