Hi,

just did set up some mail accounts for a new user and did realize that
replies to an own message are being sent to the own address of the original
sender rather than to the address of the original recipient.

This still works:
-----------------
1)
From: Michael Heydekamp <[email protected]>
Display name: Michael Heydekamp
Email: [email protected]

This does not work:
-------------------
2)
From: Michael Heydekamp <[email protected]>
Display name: Michael Heydekamp xxxxxx - xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx
Email: [email protected]

3)
From: Michael Heydekamp xxxxxx - xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx <[email protected]>
Display name: Michael Heydekamp xxxxxx - xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx
Email: [email protected]

4)
From: =?UTF-8?Q?Michael_Heydekamp_xxxxxx_-_xxxxxxx_xxx_xxxxxxx?=
 <[email protected]>
Display name: Michael Heydekamp
Email: [email protected]

Where "Display name" and "Email" are the relevant entries under
Settings/Identities, and "From:" is the From header of the message.

According to Example 2) above, Roundcube seems to check for the display name
as well...? IMO, it shouldn't do that and check for the address only.

Example 3) is strange: Display names are identical, nonetheless the routine
fails. Is the display name too long?

Example 4): Not sure if folded headers are the problem here.

Fix appreciated, as the user in question did already send a few messages to
himself, relying on a working Reply-to-own-messages routine (and not
realizing the wrong recipient address).

Cheers,

I'm not a Roundcube dev, so my thoughts here should be taken with a grain of salt, but...

I'm not sure I see where this is something to fix in Roundcube. This is normal behavior when one replies to one's own message that was not sent through a listserv with a default Reply-To.

If the original sender is replying to their own message and wants the reply to go to the original recipient, they should select to "Reply-All", as they would with any other mail client, and if necessary, drop themselves from the "To" field.
