78986 - Mailing lists do not expand when sending

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78410

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Bill Hartwell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010326
BuildID:    2001032514

When I attempt to send mail using a mailing list defined in my address book, it
is sent as <listname>@zianet.com, rather than expanding the list to <address 1>,
<address 2>, <address 3>, ... <address n>
This occurs whether I use the address book to insert the list name or I type in
the list name in the composer.
NOTE: This is a duplicate of bug #74829, which is supposedly fixed, yet I am
still having this problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start a new message
2.insert a mailing list name
3.click <send>

Actual Results:  Message sent with [e-mail] as the address, producing
a failure message from the zianet.com mailer daemon.

Expected Results:  Expanded listname to address 1, address 2, address 3, address
4,... before sending.

Could you try a recent build? You're probably using 2001032514, that's from end
of March.

If this works fine with a recent build, this is a dupe of 78410 (which is fixed).

Is there a recent build that's stable enough to replace Release 0.8.1? If so,
I'll give it a try, but I'm not a developer, so I try to use stable releases
unless I don't have a choice.

You could test you mailing lists with the latest nightly and then install 0.9.
0.9 should be released really soon. It doesn't have the fix for the mailing
lists, though.

Marking dupe. Please reopen if you still see this bug with a recent trunk or
0.9.1 build.
