From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040916 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: If a message has the Reply-To: header field set, and I reply to it using the R command (with Replyall set) or the r command (without Replyall set), then my reply is addressed only to the address in the Reply-To header field, and not other recipients or addresses listed in the Cc: field. This is contrary to what mailx does under Solaris 8, and what mutt does (and probably other mail programs). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailx-8.1.1-32 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file "foo" with a message in it, including Reply-To: header field, multiple addresses listed under To:, and a Cc: header line. 2. type mail -f foo 3. type set Replyall 4. type R 5. Notice that the message is only going to one person, not the Cc: recipients or the others listed under To: Actual Results: The recipients other than you, and the Cc: list are not included among the recipients of the reply message Expected Results: The other "To:" recipients in the original message should be listed under "To:" for the reply message, and the Cc: list should be carried over. Additional info:
It is hard to say if this is a bug because RFC 822 http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/ says: > If the "Reply-To" field exists, then the reply should > go to the addresses indicated in that field and not to > the address(es) indicated in the "From" field. But if mailx under Solaris 8 does then there should be different version of mailx and this feature was added/removed from mailx.
In other words (in my interpretation) the RFC says that the "Reply-To" field causes the address(es) in the "From" field of the original message to be replaced by the addresses in the "Reply-To" field, and if the MUA was going to send the reply to other addresses (e.g., in the "To" field or the "Cc" field), then it should still send it to those addresses. Yes, mailx in Solaris is very different. It has lots of new features.
Commands r and R was changed if you fill Reply-To header r - adresse the message to adresses in the header fields From:, To: and Reply-To:, the Cc: header field is copied. R - adresse the message to adresses in the Reply-To header field. IV
