Description Linus Torvalds 2009-05-01 20:35:37 UTC
Description of problem:

When answering email with alpine, pressing 'r' (for reply) and then 'y' (to the "Reply to all recipients" question), it only replies to all people in the original "to:" list, not the whole cc list.

That's broken, and not how alpine traditionally works.

I don't know how many emails I sent out to the wrong list of people due to this.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

alpine-2.00-4.fc11.x86_64


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reply to an email that has both a "to:" field and "cc:" field
2. Ask for "all recipients"
3. Only get the "to:" field
  
Actual results:

Very few recipients of email in discussions

Expected results:

Everybody involved in the discussion should remain involved when appropriate (ie when answering "y" to the all recipient question)


Additional info:

This used to work in F10. I just tried upgrading my normal workstation to current F11 testing, and my work is painfully impacted by this.

Maybe there's some magic config option, but if there is, I couldn't find it.

Linus--this is a duplicate of #496400 and I've been trying to track down the problem since the F11 beta. My best guess right now is that it's related to GCC-4.4 (Ubuntu 9.04 with GCC-4.3 does not have the problem). Unfortunately alpine development is  more or less in maintenance mode due to UW layoffs. Someone with stronger debugging skills than mine could probably diagnose the problem... do you happen to know anyone? :)
