[Bug 225161] New: The forward option in Evolution cause serious problems in current design
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225161 Summary: The forward option in Evolution cause serious problems in current design Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Evolution AssignedTo: kharish@novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@tpg.com.au QAContact: anagappan@novell.com Request for Functional Change - due severe limitations of current design When the Forward option is chosen for a message the original message is sent attached to a new message As this is an attachment this presents major problems communicating with any of the many companies, authorities that not only strip all attachments from inbound email but also often strip any HTML code and only leave plain text. Under the current system of the forwarded email being an attachment, the recipient at the Bank, and ANY Abuse,NOC,Webmaster,Support departments and just about every ISP on the planet will receive a blank email. The work around is to use the Reply and replace the return address with the intended one, however this has a serious impact on the header information.. As it stands there is almost no value in the current method of forwarding emails. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Again, the reply work-around is the only thing that works, but it requires to re-enter every single receiver address all over manually... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
