GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 265927
Replying to email with "Newsgroups:" header attempts to reply to newsgroup instead.
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:33 UTC
Description of Problem: I subscribe to a number of mailing lists that are also mirrored on an NNTP server, e.g blfs-support at linuxfromscratch.org. When Evolution tries to reply to messages on the mailing list that have come from the news server, it gets confused over whether it should be replying to news or email, presumably due to the presence of a header "Newsgroups: blfs.support". Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Find an email (from a POP account) that contains a "Newsgroups:" header. 2. Select Reply Actual Results: Compose window appears with the "Post To:" option filled in with a value: mbox:/home/delgarde/.evolution/mail/local/blfs.support The normal "To:" option does not appear. If I try to send the message, Evolution shows a warning that I haven't specified any recipients. In a second dialog, it shows an error that it can't open the non-existant folder mbox:/home/.../mail/blfs.support. Expected Results: This being a local email and not a news post, the Compose window should reply only to the email. How often does this happen? Every time. Additional Information: This occurs even though no news servers are configured. I'm been told by someone else that it even occurs when Evolution is built with --disable-nntp, but haven't verified this myself. This affects the 2.0.0 tarballs released this morning.
Oops, didn't see 60995 before I raised this. It's the same bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 260995 ***
