Mimi,
I was discussing this bug with Philippe since there was some
confusing interpreting your rules for what appears in the bi-line. In
an attempt to clarify for the dev team, I had a few questions.
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8209
So is this correct...
+ The bi-line is made up by several pieces of information including
the NAME.
+ In order to determine what name appears there are several different
rules.
+ If we have created or edited events, tasks and notes we use the
name from the default sharing account, right? If we haven't setup any
sharing accounts, we display a blank name in the bi-line field.
+ For draft message items we create and edit, in place of the name we
insert...
+ The email address of the 1st outgoing email account
+ If there is no outgoing email account, we use the 1st incoming
email account name
+ If there is no incoming email account we use the username of the
sharing account
+ If there is no sharing account we leave the name in the bi-line
blank.
+ For messages that have been sent and subsequently updated in the
name field we display the address the item was originally sent with
(before we edited).
Let me know if this is accurate per your proposal.
Questions that came up....
+ What is the rational for using the email address first in one case
and the sharing account in the other? Why wouldn't we just use the
email account name for events, tasks and notes if there is one setup.
+ If we use the sharing account name for creating a new event, then
subsequently setup email and stamp as a message does the bi-line name
change to show the email account name? Would this be confusing? Of
course we would always have this issue if the user didn't setup their
email accounts initially anyhow.
Cheers,
Sheila
