I've been trading lots of email lately with a friend, and he recently started complaining that when he replies to some of me messages, the To: field does not populate. It turns out, that happens with message I send from Balsa (on my desktop) but not with messages I send from Thunderbird on my laptop. (both Linux) Note in both cases, I'm using a "real" email address, there is not alias or forwarding going on. (I recall Reply-To: shows up when I send with a "From:" address but use the SMTP server of a domain different from that address (such as this message - from sourceforge.net, but actualy sent through gmail.) He sent me full header dumps of and example of each, and the "bad" message has a blank "Reply-To:" header. If I look in my sent-mail, I do see blank Reply-To: headers, although Balsa doesn't actually display them when I show All Headers looking at my Sent Box.
This is a bug in the code, actually… See <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/blob/master/libbalsa/send.c#L1435>: in the “headers” struct, all InternetAddressList elements are populated, but the list /length/ may be 0 for unused ones. g_mime_message_get_reply_to() returns an empty list, to which an empty list is added, resulting in an empty header. The same applies to To:, Cc: and Bcc: (From: shouldn't be empty). I push a bug fix to git asap. Thanks a lot for pointing to that issue! Cheers, Albrecht.
