Description jeremy 2004-09-22 06:47:22 UTC
Distribution: Unknown
Package: Evolution
Priority: Normal
Version: GNOME2.8.0 2.0.0
Gnome-Distributor: GNOME.Org
Synopsis: Mailer confuses messages received via E-mail and NNTP
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: 2.0.0
Description:
Description of Problem:
A number of the mailing lists I subscribe to are also mirrored on NNTP
access via INN -> Mailman transport.  When someone posts to these lists
via NNTP, and I receive the message via E-mail, and attempt to reply to
the message, the "Newsgroups" header in the message causes Evolution to
believe it should post via NNTP instead.  And since I don't use
Evolution for NNTP, replying to these messages fail.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Subscribe to a mailman list mirrored via NNTP (the
lfs-dev@linuxfromscratch.org list is one such list).
2. Find a message that was posted via NNTP instead of E-mail
3. Try to reply

Actual Results:
Evolution will attempt to post to the NNTP list, even tho the message
was recieved via E-mail


Expected Results:
Should reply to the mailing list instead


How often does this happen?
Always

just empty out the post to entry box.

this is not a confusion, if it has that header it is a news message.
