Using 1999092308m11 on linux,NT 4.0 and Mac OS 8.5.1 Overview: Seamonkey currently does not reflect a reply-to header in the compose window if the identity has specified a reply-to address in the account setup. Communicator 4.6 behavior is: displays a reply-to header with the identity's reply-to-address pref info in addition to the default To:, Newsgroup: or other addressee headers on launch of the New Msg or Reply compose window. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit|Account Setup. Select an identity. 2. Fill in the Reply-to Address field with something different than the Email Address field contents. OK to the dialog to confirm the change. 3. Select that identity in the Messenger folders pane (I selected a message in a folder belonging to this identity). 4. Click New Msg (or Reply). The compose window properly defaults the From: header as the currently selected identity, but does not display to the user a Reply-to header showing the default Reply-to specified in account setup. Actual Results: No Reply-to header is displayed with the default/account setup reply-to address. Expected Results: A Reply-to: header should display with the reply-to address as specified in that identity's account setup. The user can then choose to leave it set to the default setting or change it for that message (default should stay as is in the account setup field). Side issue: How would this be handled if you're using a profile with many identities and you switch the From: in the compose window to another identity?

Hmm... My original discription of the problem was comparing seamonkey to Communicator 4.6. It seems Unix displays the Reply-to hdr as a default in the compose window, but Windows 4.6 doesn't. Now I don't know what's the intended or proper behavior. This might be deemed an invalid bug...

Add german for his advise

Perhaps should post to mozilla mail/news newsgroup for opinions before jglick gets back from vacation.

moving to M15

Fixed and checked in

This is basically implemented using the builds listed below. I will log specific problems I see with reply-to in compose window as separate bugs. Basically ok using: 2000-04-12-06m15 commercial build NT 4.0 2000-04-11-09m15 commercial build linux rh6.0 2000-04-12-05m15 commercial build mac OS 9.0 I see that the multiple identity case mentioned as a side issue and commented in return by ducarroz on 09-27-99 is not working as he stated -- I'll open a new bug report for that case.
