GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 446152
reply to all does not reply to all when names are similar
Last modified: 2020-10-28 11:24:23 UTC
I have a message with the header (with domain name hidden): From: Geoff <geoff@XXX.co.uk> To: michael bane <michael.bane@YYY.ac.uk> Cc: michael@ZZZ.org.uk and I would expect "Reply to all" to put Geoff@XXX in the To field, and michael.bane@YYY and michael@ZZZ in the CC field, however evolution gives just Geoff@XXX Note that if the names are very different in From, To & Cc there seems no problem. (I've not had time to define "very different"!) To reproduce this, make sure the names in the To: and Cc: field are similar, as in the example. This bug was originally reported by Michael at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412082
do you have an account where you have michael@ZZZ.org.uk set as your email address? Evolution tries to sense if a message was sent to you via multiple addresses so when you reply-all, it removes all of your email addresses from the lists.
I can't reach the reporter, but I assume that's the reason it was removed. I would say this is a NOTABUG then..
I think the bug is that *disabled account* addresses get removed from the lists. I stumbled upon this one.. we have Cyrus IMAP server, and I have a couple of users that use MS Entourage email client, which spontaneously screws folder subscriptions. I added their accounts to my evolution so I can fix their subscriptions, but I disabled their accounts and only enable them when fixing them. I could never figure out why when I did reply-to-all, their addresses got removed from my list... until I read Comment #1. IMHO, I think evolution should only remove enabled addresses from the list. BTW - this is on Evolution 2.22.3.1 on Ubuntu (Hardy).
Sounds like bug 597473, as per comment 1. Please file a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/new if I'm wrong and if this still happens in 3.38 or later. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 597473 ***
