529902 - "reply list" fails on some google groups lists (ones that have a certain List-Post header)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 528039

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

The raindrop-dev mailing list ends up with headers like so:

From: David Ascher <[e-mail]>
To: [e-mail]
Reply-To: [e-mail]
List-Post: <http://groups.google.com/group/raindrop-dev/post?hl=>, 
	<mailto:[e-mail]>

Unhappily, this confuses our List-Post parsing code, which, when "reply list" is hit, offers a compose window that only replies to the sender.

Marking blocking?, as it's not clear to me how common this configuration of Google Groups actually is.

Looks like a dup of bug 528039

I agree this is a dup of bug 528039. See my comment at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528039#c9

As far as "how common this configuration of Google Groups actually is" - I believe that is the form of the List-Post header for all Google Groups lists. There is also, I think, always a Reply-To: with either the list address or the author address depending on list configuration.

The Reply-To: doesn't seem to be part of this issue. in TB 3.0 at least, a message with a Reply-To: and a List-Post: with only a mailto: URL is properly handled. Reply goes to the Reply-To: and reply-list goes to the mailto: in the List-Post:

I checked and the above is not quite correct. The list owner has these options:

 Replies are sent to the whole group.
 Replies are sent to the author of the message.
 Replies are sent to the owners of the group.
 Users decide where their replies are sent.

However, As I said above, the presence or absence of a Reply-To: or it's content if present doesn't seem to affect this bug.
