When using the "Redirect" command on the "Actions" -> "Forward" menu, Evolution changes the date on the redirected message to be the current date and time. This is really confusing, since the original From:/To:/Cc:/etc. headers remain unchanged (as they should) - it makes it look as if the original sender sent the message at the time when the redirect happened. Surely the Date: header should also remain unchanged when redirecting?
Still doing this in FC3, evolution-2.0.2-3 - "Date:" header being changed instead of adding a "Resent-Date:" header.
Still doing it in FC4, evolution-2.2.3-2.fc4
I'm guessing that after nearly 3 years this just ain't gonna be fixed. But, for what it's worth, it's still doing it in FC6, evolution-2.8.1.1-3.fc6...
Created attachment 144948 [details] Upstream patch against evolution-2.8.0-7.fc6.src Here's the upstream bug report: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393336 This patch fixes this longly survived problem.
Thanks for reporting this, and for supplying the patch. I'm sorry this went for so long without attention; for some reason the bug was still assigned to me and not mbarnes. Reassigning to mbarnes; once again, my apologies for not handling this sooner.
Closing as UPSTREAM since this was recently moved upstream. I will continue to track the problem there.
