Description Tommi Komulainen 2005-03-24 11:00:00 UTC
Depending on how you start composing new mail BCC and signature from
(default?) account setup may or may not be included by default.  The
preferences should be taken into account in all cases.

1. Compose new mail starting from evolution menus
- BCC: present
- signature: present

2. Compose new mail by running 'evolution-2.2 mailto:'
- BCC: missing
- signature: present

3. Compose new mail by running 'evolution-2.2 mailto:?body=foo'
- BCC: missing
- signature: missing


In all cases the signature selector in the composer window indicates the
default signature regardless of whether it's actually present or not.

This is not about shell meta characters.  This is about evolution ignoring
certain preferences.

uhhm...damn! sorry, i misunderstood you (i should read it more carefully). :-(
Comment 4 Not Zed 2005-05-19 06:26:57 UTC
this is just a bug, not a wishlist
Comment 5 Mikael Nilsson 2007-01-29 10:04:12 UTC
This is still present in 2.9.6.

A simple way to trigger it is to use "Send Link" from firefox, which I do regularly...

Is it hard to fix?

Comment 7 Fredrik Sjögren 2007-10-13 16:52:46 UTC
Any progress on this one?

I always bcc myself so this bug is making me thinking about to switch to an other mail reader.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2007-10-18 22:40:45 UTC
evolution mailto:?cc=cc@example.com\&bcc=bcc@example.com\&body=foo

works for me - it adds "bcc@example.com" to the BCC list, so i don't see a big issue here (except of the differing behaviours)
Comment 9 Fredrik Sjögren 2008-03-13 15:01:13 UTC
A ordniary mailto-link (whithout BCC) should use the BCC-settings from evolution. Like it is now is a BUG.

Comment 11 Matthew Barnes 2010-08-12 16:26:35 UTC
Fixed the signature issues as part of bug #323142.  Adjusting summary.
Comment 12 André Klapper 2012-06-20 12:34:57 UTC
Cannot reproduce in 3.2.3.

evolution mailto:foo@xyz.aa?cc=cc@example.com\&body=body\&subject=subject
uses the default BCC for the account defined under "Edit > Preferences > Mail Accounts > Edit > Defaults > Composing Messages > Always blind carbon-copy to".

Closing As FIXED.
