It seems kmail composer fails to retrieve the identity with which a saved draft was being edited with and instead fails back to default identity. This behavior has an embarrassing consequence: you end up sending messages with the wrong identity without noticing it, then the wrong people start answering you on an email address they should not have known about. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure your kmail to have several identities. 2. start editing a message 3. change identity for this message to something else than default 4. close it and save it to drafts 5. go to your draft folder and re-open the message saved in 4 Actual Results: The identity field of the reopened message switched back to default identity. Expected Results: The message, including all its metadata, should be identical to when it was saved. This bug is not specific to saving to drafts: when you fail to send a message and it is saved to outbox, identity will also be lost when you reopen the message.
