Hi,

(reposting this bug for PowerMail 5 beta)

ok, so this is my pet-peeve bug, and I'll keep bringing it up again until
it is fixed, so... :-)

I am having the following problem with a single mail getting sent twice:

To reproduce:

1. Create a new email using account "A".
2. Schedule it for sending using the "Send" button.
3. Double click the waiting(!) message to open it again, then change the
account to be used for sending to "B" using the Account popup top right.
4. Confirm the dialog that pops up on that change of a waiting message
with "Save as draft". Account gets updated to "B".
5. Now, schedule it again for sending using the "Send" button.

What this effectively did was changing the outgoing account of a message
that was already scheduled for sending to a different one - a common
procedure.

6. Choose "Connect to server" to collect waiting messages and send the
one scheduled for sending.

PROBLEM:
The message gets sent TWICE, once using account "A" (the original
account), and once using account "B", the one it has been changed to.

I reported this issue for the first time on April 30, 2003. It was
confirmed by Paul in May 2003 and Juergen Schindler, Barbara Needham and
Zach Selland in November 2003, the latter of whom discovered a workaround
by first setting the waiting message's status to "draft" prior to opening
it to change its account.

Jerôme, could you please have a look at this again, as it is a possibly
dangerous bug (a person receiving a business email from your private
account, e.g.)? Thank you!

Regards, Christian.
