Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278453

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Sadek Baroudi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060608 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060608 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.4

I can successfully reproduce this problem on windows and on linux in the latest version 1.5.0.4 (20060516)

Have not attempted to reproduce on a POP account, only on IMAP

When creating an additionaly identity for an account, if you place the signature above the quote, and your reply above the signature, it will still place the signature below the quote.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new email inbox
2. Setup a signature for that inbox
3. Create a new identity for the mailbox
4. Setup a signature for that identity
5. Set both identities to place your reply above the signature and the the signature above the quote
Actual Results:  
It places the signature below the quote when you switch identities.

Expected Results:  
It should place it above, as set in the preferences.

Have you verified that the setting was actually set for the second identity?
There is a known issue where that particular setting is not getting saved correctly for either the primary or secondary identities.

You are correct. The setting is not sticking for the second identity. However, it is saving for the first.

Thank you for informing me that it is a known bug.

Thanks for confirming; duping to the original bug.

As noted at bug 278453 comment 6, I haven't been able to reproduce this problem but I can reproduce bug 284058, where the setting doesn't stick for the primary identity.  However, the problem with secondary identities is more frequently reported.
