793982 - CC-address defined in Account Settings should not be added if it is there already

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jouni Aro]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1

Steps to reproduce:

I have defined a default CC-address for one of my identitites. It is related to handling messages to a certain support address.

I am using TB in Mac OSX Lion.


Actual results:

When I reply to messages that are for this address they already include the as Cc (especially when I am used to replying to all). So when I select this identities with the defined Cc (and Reply-To), I get the same Cc-address twice and need to remove the second one.


Expected results:

I would expect the defined default Cc-address only once in the new reply message.

And worse, if you manually remove that auto-(b)cc address, save, close and re-open your draft, it will be re-added, which imho really doesn't make sense.
It should only be added when the draft is created.
Just ftr (needs a new bug).

I've fixed this for the scenario of changing identities in compose window in bug 1646857.
Unfortunately, new compositions use a different code path, so this problem still exists.
You could change the identity once and then back to the identity you want to remove the auto-cc and auto-bcc duplicates.
This might remove auto-cc/bccs if they happen to match the auto-cc/bcc of the other identity exactly.
