            Bug ID: 366356
           Summary: Reply action picks the wrong To address
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: commands and actions
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: james at jmbeck.com

When replying to an email address that is configured as an account in Kmail,
the Reply button inserts the To email address into the To field, instead of the
>From address into the To field.

This behavior is tricky, because when I replied to the first account, the
second account was actually replying to itself! Very confusing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up Kmail with two (or more?) email accounts. Let's say the accounts are
aaa at mail.com and bbb at mail.com. Set up an identity for each email address.
2. Send an email from aaa at mail.com to bbb at mail.com (be sure to use the
appropriate identity).
3. In the Inbox of bbb, select the received message and press the Reply button
(or press the R shortcut key).

Actual Results:  
I get bbb at mail.com in the To field. This means bbb at mail.com is sending a
message (with his own identity) to himself.


Expected Results:  
I expect that the To field would show aaa at mail.com, because that is the address
in the From field.

Note that you can do the reverse: send an email from bbb to aaa, and reply to
bbb from aaa. You'll find that aaa at mail.com is in the To field instead of
bbb at mail.com. It only seems to matter that both accounts are configured in
Kmail. For email addresses not configured as accounts, the Reply action puts
the proper email address in the To field.

I see nothing in the header of my mails to that makes this behavior
understandable. It's not a mailing list.
