Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Simo Kivimäki]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041201 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (X11/20041206)

When sending an e-mail message where Reply-To field includes a mailing list from
address book, the mailing list does not expand to addresses which it include.
The messages Reply-To field will be 'list <list>' where 'list' is the name of
the mailing list.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Prerequisite: there is a mailing list defined in the address book.

1. Create a new message (Write)
2. Write some address to the 'To' field. Your own address is good for testing.
3. Add 'Reply-To' field and put a mailing list to it.
4. Send the message.
Actual Results:  
The message was sent but the 'Reply-To' field does not include the addresses of
the mailing list. The message source of the sent (and received) message shows
that the Reply-To is set to 'list <list>' where 'list' is the name of the
mailing list.

Expected Results:  
The Reply-To field should include the addresses which were in the mailing list.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

Thunderbird version: 11.0.1
OS: OS X 10.7.4

This bug is still apparent. When sending a message with a list added to Reply-to field the list won't resolve to it's contacts. The bug has been described perfectly in the description and is the exact same thing I am experiencing.

Please reopen the bug.
