763228 - reply doesn't select the correct email when more identifications are available for one account

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Ionut Biru]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0
Build ID: 20120608021316

Steps to reproduce:

I have 3 emails accounts and 1 of it has an additional email added as identification, which is my archlinux.org email
Since thunderbird 13, every time I wanted to reply on an email that comes from archlinux.org, the archlinux.org identify was selected automatically.


Actual results:

Now with thunderbird 13, the identification selected automatically is the account email, in which the additional identification is added.


Expected results:

I expect to select automatically the identification that matches the domain from which the email I'm replying comes.

That's the way it used to work (changed in bug 397975), but i don't think it's reasonable for general use - think all the gmail addresses out there for instance... Only because i have a gmail address by no means mean that i want to reply to a gmail user using that address.

Hello,

I found it annoying that the behavior was changed. I want at least the behavior to be configurable because now I have to do additional steps.

Can you tell us about your setup/the mails? You're not in the To:/Cc: fields and it's not delivered into the archlinux.org account?

Magnus, I understand the problem now. It doesn't select the account because I disabled receiving emails on archlinux.org via mailman and only allowed the gmail account to receive.

I need to flip the configurations in mailman and it should work.

Sorry for the noise.
