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.
