Subject: Clicking on From: address in attachment DTWT
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 11:02:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sk03x49j.fsf@escher.home> (raw)

When an email contains a forwarded email, clicking on the address in the
From: header of the attached mail creates a message buffer in which the
To: address is not, as I had hoped, the address is the attached From:
header but rather the address in the top From: header.  For example, in
the following:

----------
From: Stephen Berman <stephen.berman@bla.net>
Subject: Meeting Thu 10:00 - 12:00 (fwd)
To: <Mary.Jones@bla.net>
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 09:58:33 +0200 (CEST)

[1. text/plain]


[2. Meeting Thu 10:00 - 12:00 (fwd) --- message/rfc822]

From: John Smith <John.Smith@bla.net>
Subject: Meeting Thu 10:00 - 12:00
To: Stephen Berman <stephen.berman@bla.net>
Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 18:15:25 +0200 (CEST)

Dear Steve,

Bla bla bla.

Thanks,
John
----------

when I click on "John.Smith@bla.net" in the attached From: header, the
resulting message buffer's To: header contains "Stephen Berman
<stephen.berman@bla.net>" rather than "John Smith <John.Smith@bla.net>". 

AFAICT, this is because message-reply narrows to the headers of the
containing email, ignoring the headers of the contained email.

Steve Berman
