edit drafts looses tags, priority and most other custom headers

[Helix]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When tagging a draft, and then editing it and saving it again as a draft the tags are lost. This applies also to star markings and priority settings. Also the identity is not maintained if the draft is stored in an imap folder and edited on a different profile, even if said identity is registered. I expect that editing a draft will change only the parts of the draft that I actually touch and leave the headers alone.

Do you still see this with version 2.0.0.18 from Harrdy repos or Intrepid repos? the same version should be in both.

[Helix (web+unbuntu)]

Yes, at least the priority goes away when Editing the Draft again, on Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (Intrepid)

Since this report have a long time without activity, could you check (if is possible) in latest Ubuntu Karmic version ( include thunderbird 2.0.0.23) if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.

[Mr. X (web-antino)]

Yes, still happening.
