Description Martin van Es 2015-08-18 14:13:04 UTC

When replying to a mail in which a mailinglist is involved (list-post) KMail's reply-to-all command skips the address in the to: header and inserts the list-post address. That last part is understandable, but I don't understand why the to: address is skipped?

Abbreviated headers of a mail that's coming in:
From: address_01
To: address_02
Cc: address_03
List-post: address_04

A reply-to-all on this mail generates an answer to the following recipients:
to: address_04
cc: address_01
cc: address_03

I'm not in favor of the decision to make list-post to: but after reading many bugreports about this I can live with that. What is simply wrong (in my opinion) is that address_02 misses from the cc: list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive mailinglist mail with following headers
From: address_01
To: address_02
Cc: address_03
List-post: address_04

2. Reply-to-all

Actual Results:  
Original To: addressee is missing from list of recipients

Expected Results:  
I expect the original to: addressee to be included in the list of all recipients

This bug has never been confirmed for a KDE PIM version that is based on KDE Frameworks (5.x). Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the oportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12, preferably more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.

I've just tested the reply-to-all in Kmail 5.5.3 and I now see a reply to both the to: as well as the list-post: address. My apologies for not reacting sooner. This bug can be closed.
