I have a gmail account configured in KMail. I have also subscribed to a few mailing lists on this account, one of which is the mesa-dev list. When I press the 'Reply' button on any email that is not related to the list at all, KMail replaces the To: field with the mesa-dev list address. This does not happen in the email contains a Reply To: header, but if it does not, the mesa-dev address is always set in the To: field. Reply to All does the same thing, but puts the original address in the From: field as a CC of the email, while the mesa-dev list is still set in the To: field. Is this a bug or could it be configuration problem? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read an incoming mail with no Reply-To header set and not from a mailing list. 2. Press Reply or Reply to All Actual Results: The mesa-dev list is in the To: field of the composer instead of the actual sender of the email. Expected Results: The From address should be put in the To: field of the new message.
could you save this mail as mbox and attach it here please ? (I think that mail from mesa devel is not secret :) ) I need it for testing it Thanks
Well, it's not an email from the mesa-dev list that is the actual problem. It's all other emails that set the To: field to the mesa-dev list. I can take an example mail that produces this problem if you want, but it is all emails without a Reply-To field. And if you actually want a mesa-dev email I can pick one at random and save it for you. I'm not really sure when the problem started though, but I noticed it last week. What I mean is that picking the mesa email that caused KMail to get stuck in this behaviour would probably be pretty difficult to do, if that is the source of the problem at all.
The issue seems to be that my GMail inbox had the 'This folder contains a mailing list' checkbox enabled. This caused all mail to be addressed to the mesa mailing list. Unchecking this box fixed the issue.
