Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Hugues Lemonnier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707

I modified prefs.js to manage different email address in the same account. I
specified the additionnal email address in lowercase chars. If I get a mail with
th to field in uppercase chars and try to reply to this mail, it selects the
default address for this account.

Example:
default email address: [e-mail]
additionnal email address: [e-mail]
If I get an email with "To: <[e-mail]>" an select "Reply to", the
"From" popup is automatically set to "[e-mail]". If I get an email with
"To: <[e-mail]>, the "From" popup is set to "[e-mail]". 

Remarks:
1. I did not try with mixed kind of characters
2. Email filtering is working (it's not case sensitive)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a multiple POP3 account, with a secondary email address in lowercase
2. Send an email to your secondary email address in uppercase (the address, not
the body of the mail)
3. Reply to this email

Actual Results:  
In the "From" popup, your main email address is selected

Expected Results:  
The secondary email address should be selected

Should we port the patches from bug 231742 to MailNews?
