            Bug ID: 301957
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8.4
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Mail composer ignores identity field when opening
                    saved message
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: aldo-public at laposte.net
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: composer
           Product: kmail2

It seems kmail composer fails to retrieve the identity with which a saved draft
was being edited with and instead fails back to default identity.

This behavior has an embarrassing consequence: you end up sending messages with
the wrong identity without noticing it, then the wrong people start answering
you on an email address they should not have known about.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure your kmail to have several identities.
2. start editing a message
3. change identity for this message to something else than default
4. close it and save it to drafts
5. go to your draft folder and re-open the message saved in 4
Actual Results:  
The identity field of the reopened message switched back to default identity.

Expected Results:  
The message, including all its metadata, should be identical to when it was
saved.

This bug is not specific to saving to drafts: when you fail to send a message
and it is saved to outbox, identity will also be lost when you reopen the
message.
