(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.4.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.18 OS/Compiler notes: If you resend a message from your "sent-mail" folder via "Message"->"Send Again" headers like "From" and "X-KMail-Transport" are overwritten with the ones from your current Identity. I don't know what you think but when I resend a mail I want it to have the same headers as the "original" mail (except the Message-ID of course).

I'm sure there's no such=20 concept in Kmail and I should know having rewritten the identity=20 handling for 3.1 ;-) > I don't know what you think but when I resend a mail I want it to > have the same headers as the "original" mail (except the Message-ID > of course). <snip> Hmm what you want sounds more like "redirect". But frankly I don't=20 knwo what "send again" semantics are. I think of it as a "edit" for=20 non-{draftsoutbox} folders.

As it isn't possible to set an Identity for the "sent-mail" folder the "current identity" in this case is the default Identity :o) > > I don't know what you think but when I resend a mail I want it to > > have the same headers as the "original" mail (except the Message-ID > > of course). > > Hmm what you want sounds more like "redirect".

In the "sent-mail" folder there're only mails sent by me so it doesn't make much sense to "redirect" them (as I don't think that "send again" makes much sense for mails you didn't send ;-). But you're right; "Redirect" does what I expected "Send Again" to do. Hmmm... I think the label "Send Again" is a bit misleading. But to tell the truth: I don't know anything better. Maybe "Resend as New..."? Sounds microsoftish. What about "Reinject..." :o) Ok ok close this bug I've learned my part... Malte
Joining on the conversation... Reading the email, it is not clear what the differences between "send again" and "redirect" are. One thing I notice, redirect will clear the "To" header, and send-again does not. In general, my understanding is similar to the original submitter. Send-again should send the email _exactly_ the same way as it was originally sent (less the Message-ID). That also means, is should keep the To as it was in the original email. I use this feature when I want to resend the same email but with a minor change (e.g., spell error fix), or when I want to keep the original text and add something to it. If send-again is implemented, then it should be exactly the same message. If it is decided "redirect" is clode enough to "send-again", then send-again should be removed. In either case, the way it is currently implemented is misleading and needs a change. Regards, Dave
Nice. Seems like this is fixed in 1.5.2 :o)
Malte asks me to close this one, as it has been fixed in the meantime.
