297640 - Can not send mail after switching from an account with Bcc recipients.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 163701

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[terny]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2 (20050317)

I have two accounts (email addresses) in Thunderbird of which one has multiple
automatic Bcc recipients specified for sending. If I compose a new mail and
first switch to this accound and than to the normal one (without any recipients)
multiple To fields appear (all empty) and if I then want to send an email it
doesn't want let me. With a message: "Sending of message failed. No recipients
were specified. Please enter a recipient or newsgroup in the addressing area."
altough there is an email entered there. I also can not add new To and similar
fields in the addressing area - it simply ignores me and the things I entered.
To send an email I now have to open the compose window with the correct account
and write it - switching not allowed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
You need to have two acounts - one with automatic Bcc recipients and then:
1. Open a compose window.
2. Switch to the account with multiple Bcc recipients.
3. Switch to the normal account and leave it there.
Actual Results:  
Now it is stuck. You can not send an email from this compose window. The
contents of the addressing area is not seen by the underlying functions that are
executed after you press Send.

Expected Results:  
Send it.
