Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Today I changed reply and reply to all templates, so I can see the difference between them. I reply to such mail: sender: my friend to: probably list cc: me, other people and despite I reply to the author (only!), template "reply to all" is used. It would be correct if I used "reply to all" function, but I didn't.
I can not reproduce. I tried the same (changing the default reply to all template), and then used reply to author. I did not use the reply to all template, only reply to all actually used the reply to all template for me.
I cannot reproduce it for all mail I get, so maybe I paste here the mail header excerpt (once again, if I use "reply" the reply mail fields are as in normal "reply", but the mail content are generated by reply to all template). Return-Path: <....@.....> Reply-To: "...." <......> From: "......" <.....> To: "........." <........@yahoogroups.com> Cc: "..........." <.........>, "........" <..........>, ".........." <.......> Organization: ...............

Thomas, sorry for misinformation, I don't use explicitly "reply to author" (this works fine), I use "reply" in order to reply to author.
Just to avoid confusion (once again sorry :-) ). REPLY TO ALL: Fields: reply to all Content: reply to all REPLY TO AUTHOR: Fields: reply to author Content: reply to author REPLY Fields: reply to author Content: reply to all
99% this bug is caused by misinterpreting "reply-to" field. I get two almost identical mail -- only to me (no CC fields, no group at To field) but one of them has "reply to" set. And for this one mixed reply pattern activates.
I can reproduce the behaviour descripted by the reporter on kmail 1.11.1 of kde 4.2.1. In particular, it exactly works as described in comment #4. I also think it is a bug. Steps to reproduce: Select a mail sent with multiple addressees in the To: field. Upon clicking "Reply", a new mail is created with the sender in the To: field, but with the "Reply-to-all" template in the body. Both the buttons "Reply to author" as well as "Reply to all" work as expected and use the right template. I suppose the Reply action should work exactly as "Reply to sender" which would make this a bug. Regardless of how Reply should work on such an email - using just one person in the To: field and using the reply-to-all template does not make much sense. btw: why is there a "Reply to author"-button anyway if it works like "Reply" ?
Reply is mail content dependent action. So you do not decide what it does. In case of "reply to author" you decide regardless from where this mail comes from -- it could be ML for example.
Can confirm with 4.3.2. Whenever a Reply-To header is present, it uses the Reply-To-All template. I have a fix already, but I'm checking with the kmail maintainer.
