52143 - Addressing widget confused when you bring it up

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51360

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

- bring up a new message window in the 9/8/00 build

expected results:
- addressing widget says "To:" with a blank space to type the addressee

actual results:
- addressing widget has "ReplyTo:" with my email address
- my email address then instantly vanishes, leaving the reply-to area blank
- switching windows makes the ReplyTo change to "To"

This is incredibly confusing, as I have no idea how persistant that old
"replyTo" really is, and if what I replace it with really is "To" or "replyTo".
Why does it vanish like that?

one step to the right of dogfood, but not quite since it is still usable. It's
really confusing though.

probably goes away when 1st address stops scrolling off screen.

Therefore, I am pretty sure it's a dup of bug 51360...

This is totally the scrolling off the screen bug, marking dup.

This is a dupe of 51360, not 51630, which involves OJI. Correcting...
