GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 336495
From: header can be confusing when doing a Redirect
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:57:03 UTC
When one does a redirect, the 'From' field is set to the default mail account, and allows selecting any of the other accounts, as for a normal composition. However, in the case of a redirect, the original 'From' is kept, and this field is only used for selecting the SMTP server and account that are going to be used. The fact of calling it both times 'From' is a bit confusing. Therefore, I think the label 'From' could be changed to 'Sender Account', or something similar, and probably add a new 'From' field that would be fixed to the original sender of the message. Just a suggestion, sure the developers have better ideas about how to improve the UI for this case. Thanks! Other information:
Confirming. "send via" or something, rather than "From"...
Likely Composer, which is GtkHTML. Not sure, though.
nah, it's evo mailer. I would suggest just re-labeling the items to be Resent-* (Resent-From/Resent-To/Resent-Cc/etc)
restoring previous version information.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
