Description

[Jörg Giencke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1
Build Identifier: Version 2.0.0.22 (20090605)

In 'Accounts' setting both e-mail and reply adress to:

[e-mail] (Jörg Giencke)

results in:

A) From: Jörg Giencke <""joerg.giencke\"@jgid.de (Jörg Giencke)">
and
B) *NO* 'Reply-To:' created
in the message source.

A message like that is treated as spam by most spam filters and silently deleted with neither sender nor receipient recognising the problem. So - indirectly - data is lost.

This has caused serious trouble to us.

Reproducible: Always

Unable to reproduce with Tb 2.0.0.23 on Japanese MS Win-XP SP3(locale=ja, system charset=Shift_JIS, default composition charser=ISO-8859-1 is used)
Tb 2.0.0.23 generated next header by "Compoase" and "Send Later" correctly.
  From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=F6rg_Giencke?= <[e-mail]>

> B) *NO* 'Reply-To:' created

"Reply-To:" fields was not prefiled by Tb upon composition?

> In 'Accounts' setting both e-mail and reply adress to:
> [e-mail] (Jörg Giencke)
 
Did you set it via Tb's Account Manager UI?
Or edited prefs.js? Or set them using add-on(extension)?
What is set in next entries? (Check via Config Editor)
  mail.identity.idX.fullName  = Jörg Giencke
  mail.identity.idX.reply_to  = [e-mail]
  mail.identity.idX.useremail = [e-mail]
Does it mean you typed or pasted "[e-mail] (Jörg Giencke)" in mail address field of account setting?
> i.e. mail.identity.idX.useremail = [e-mail] (Jörg Giencke)

What is your default character encoding setting for mail composition(outgoing mail)?
