Version: 4.7.2 (using Devel) OS: Linux Seen in kmail-4.7.4: There is a configuration setting for the maximum number of recipients in a mail reply: Email editor > General > Maximum number of recipients. It was introduced in https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdepim/repository/revisions/f3476527e4f4c0e269590bf5108cdce211b9c2c7 as a fix to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216351 The problem is that the default value of this maximum number is 1. So, when I "reply to all" to a mail with 1 To and 2 CC recipients, I get a dialog "Truncating recipients list to 1 of 2 entries." And no hint where this problem comes from. Suggestion 1: Set the default value to 100. This would make the problem disappear with normal (not huge) recipient lists. Suggestion 2: Add to the error message (in messagecomposer/recipientseditor.cpp) a hint where to find the configuration setting for the limit. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Pick a mail with 1 To and 2 CCs. Do "Reply to all...". Actual Results: A dialog "Truncating recipients list to 1 of 2 entries." appears, and some of the expected recipients have been omitted. Expected Results: All Tos and all CCs (except myself) should be listed as recipients. Related bugs: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216351 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287367
This was fixed. The default is back to 200.
Hope you removed the 'feature' and the configuation option completely, I see no need for it at all. It just creates bugs (like this) and confuses the user. Just open the mail with all recipients that are in the mail!
I too don't undestand what's the point of the option. At least make it possible to disable the option (I tried value 0, but then all the recipients were cut).
