Evolution on Karmic (fresh install). IMAP mail account. simple to reproduce -> new mail -> send this email without "To" address ... (with subject or not) and tada ! Evolution don't check the "To" field. Empty or with a malform email address, no problem for evolution... it sends it and place it in the "sent" folder. Stop. evolution 2.28.1 Reported on Ubuntu Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/485831
I can reproduce on stable but scenario works fine in master (2.29.2).
Created attachment 148301 [details] [review] Evolution patch
Ok found this http://bit.ly/4QkH0j My patch fixes only the post-to one. The patch for master fixes all scenarios. Port it for stable and announce strings :-)
Correct, this had been fixed recently on master, within bug #250046, and as new strings added I decided to not disturb stable branch. From my point of view, I wouldn't backport patch to stable, this is the only bug, being a duplicate of the above mentioned, thus not a critical issue. Just my thoughts.
@Dan, lets wait for next stable release (2.30.0) then :-) Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 250046 ***
