82775 - multiple reply-to when default reply-to exists and a draft is used

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

When an email account has a default reply-to address defined in the preferences,
it adds this to the addresses in the compose window.  If you create a message
and save it as a draft, then later edit the draft from the drafts folder, two
"reply-to" addresses show in the compose window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an email account with a default "reply-to" address in the preferences
2. Create a message, but instead of sending it, select file->save as->draft
3. Go to the Drafts folder and edit the draft.  Two "reply-to" addresses will be
displayed in the compose window

Actual Results:  Two "reply" to addresses are displayed in the compose window.

Expected Results:  Only one "reply-to" address should be permitted with any message.

If I address the message to myself and send it with two reply-to addresses, it
does indeed send both.  Examining the raw headers, it displays:

Reply-To: [e-mail], [e-mail]

The very same thing happens if you edit message as new from the sent folder.

Nominating this bug for a better user experience. Even though this is minor it
would nice to not see any dups in the compose window as it is redundant.

FWIW, the same thing happens with BCC, that the field is duplicated when the
draft is edited.  I noticed the problem, but I don't feel it warrants a new
bugrep, since it is likely the same bit of code that needs to be worked (over,
as in with a lead pipe).
