Bug 324532

I confirm it.

Ok filter just add "X-KMail-Identity" but not changed "from" "cc" "to"...
Will look at how to fix it.

Fix Bug 324532 - kmail filter on sending mails cannot change identity

FIXED-IN: 4.11.2

Please implement this feature in a way that doesn't break existing filters.

The behavior is documented at http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdepim/kmail/filters.html, which says that "Set Identity To" should "... set the identity that will be used if you reply to this message."

In other words, it's a filter action applicable for incoming messages, not outgoing messages, at least the way that it's documented, which is used presumably to help KMail disambiguate which identity an email is intended for when it arrives over a single transport (I use this for KDE mailing list messages since @kde.org addresses automatically forward to a "real" email... without this KMail seems to pick up my actual email address in replies instead of my @kde.org address). With the current behavior every message I've received from a mailing list has been marked as From myself! ;)

However, wouldn't it already be possible to use the "Rewrite Header" filter action to rewrite the "From" header to be correct in this scenario?

Reverted in 4.11.3

Aw, so I mis-understood what this is supposed to do... Sorry.

Will try the "Rewrite Header" solution instead.

Hugs,
Jos

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work.
From is not one of the headers which can be selected in the drop-down and manually typing 'From' in the field does nothing. I attached a screenshot, perhaps I do something wrong?

It seems to happen according to the filter log:
[02:01:12] Begin filtering on message "bla" from "Jos Poortvliet " at "Sunday 24 November 2013 02:01" :
[02:01:12] Evaluating filter rules: (match any of the following) "To" <contains> "suse.de" "To" <contains> "suse.com"
[02:01:12] 1 = "To" <contains> "suse.de" (jpoortvliet@suse.de)
[02:01:12] Filter rules have matched.
[02:01:12] Applying filter action: Rewrite Header "From Jos Poortvliet <jospoortvliet@gmail.com> Jos Poortvliet <jpoortvliet@suse.de>"

What the filter looks like

I also tried a few other ways of doing it...
