When clicking on mailto-link in Firefox, Evolution ignores BCC in settings

[Fredrik]

Binary package hint: evolution

I have configurated Evolution to always do a BCC to myself.
It works fine when i select "Compose" inside Evolution but when I click on a mailto-link in Firefox, Evolution ignores my BCC (leaves it blank).

Thank you for your bug. That's known upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274052

I think this should be Importance = medium. Atleast for me, this is a big issue.

Is it patched in Gutsy?

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

@Fredrik Sjögren:

No. It has not been patched upstream, and nobody has (so far) written & proposed a patch for it. Changing the importance here will not give us anything, since we depend on someone being available and willing to look at this bug upstream, and code the fix.

[Fredrik (fredrk)]

Any news on this one? It's important...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

why do you consider that important? you have a sent folder which has the mails you sent already

[Fredrik (fredrk)]

I do not use the sent folder as it breaks the threads. I want all mails in the thread to be in the same folder. I know MANY people like me.

Why shouldn't Evolution honor my BCC-settings just because it is started from a mailto-link? What's the problem with that?

[Michael R. Head (burner)]

It's important to me because if I BCC a mail to myself, I have a greater degree of certainty that the got out and into the world and a copy stored on my mail server. Sure, as a workaround, I can fiddle Evo's sent folder setting to be a folder on the imap server, but that just copies the message to a mailbox, it doesn't route through SMTP.

In any event, Evo should work properly with any legitimate configuration of the settings it provides. As bug #198167 shows, there is probably a deeper bug here.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

nobody discuss it being a bug, we just need to know what the usecase are to prioritize correctly the importance of the issue

[Stefan (fasten)]

I have the very same problem with evolution-2.22.0-0ubuntu2 but not only through "mailto:" links in firefox or other software.

Evolution just *never* does use my "bcc" setting (neither does he use my cc: setting), may I create a new email or reply to an existing one.

This bug is very similar, so is it the same bug or should I open a new one ?

[Glen (nzwrx)]

I would like to add my voice to this as well. Ever since I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy a few weeks ago Evolution no longer includes the address in the "Always blind carbon-copy (bcc) to:," regardless of where the composer window originates. As I do work from home, I always bcc myself so that I have a copy of all emails sent from home on my work computer. If I do not remember to add my address manually, I lose emails, which is a Bad Thing. Not life-threatening in terms of importance, but very annoying. Other than that, using Hardy is great!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new upstream version 2.22.1.1 fixes this issue and will be uploaded as an hardy update

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the update doesn't fix this issue

[Jörg Frings-Fürst (jff-de)]

change status to invalid (see gnome-bugs)
