539767 - When setting "Send a Copy To", a copy is sent during an auto-save into Drafts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 279366

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Curtis Williams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Gecko/20091204 Thunderbird/3.0

If I am composing a message and set the "Send a Copy To" option in the middle of composing the message, if the time hits for Thunderbird to auto-save the message in drafts, it also sends a copy of the draft message to the "Send a Copy To" folder.  When I finally send the message, I end up with however many draft copies in that location in addition to the final message.  Thunderbird should not do the "Send a Copy To" portion during a Draft auto-save.

Reproducible: Always
