272817 - SMTP domain unvoluntarily added when drag-and-dropping a mailing list to the To:-Field

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Peter Felix Schuster]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; chrome://navigator/locale/navigator.properties; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0RC1 (20041201)

When I drag&drop any given mailing lists from the address book which is
displayed in the "Compose (new message)" window, TB adds @ussmidnight.de (my
SMTP domain) to the mailing list's name, thus the mail cannot be sent. Operating
systems Win2kSP4, SUSE-LINUX 8.2pro.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a mailing list in the address book (name: "test list", description "a
list for testing", contents captain-at-ussmidnight.de,
firstofficer-at-ussmidnight.de) - ussmidnight.de being my SMTP domain.
2.In TB's main window, compose a new message (ctrl-n).
3.Select view to show the address book while composing. Drag-and-drop (that's
important!) the "test list" into the To-Field.


Actual Results:  
TB adds test list <"a list for testing">-at-ussmidnight.de. When sending, I get
a "<Test-Liste> Recipient address rejected. User unknown in local recipient
table." error message from my SMTP server.

Expected Results:  
TB should just add:
test list <"a list for testing"> (without -at-ussmidnight.de) 

... well, and replace that by the actual recipients given in the mailing list
when sending, of course. :)

The drag&drop bit is important, since the problem doesn't occur when I double
click on "test list", when I write "test list" into the "To:" field (and chose
"test list" from the appearing list) or write the list's nickname.
