Build ID: 20120129021758

Steps to reproduce:

This bug is listed as resolved, but I have just come across it again in version 10.0.

I have an email account me@somewhere


when I create a new e-mail account 

you@somewhereelse

the default reply-to becomes

you@somewhere, a concatenation of the new name with the previous e-mail server address.


Actual results:

Because I did not see it, people who simply pressed the reply-to button sent messages into a non-existent account


Expected results:

The default reply-to address should have become the new address I enterd.
