Virtual Identity selects a wrong sender identity

[Nico Haase <nico@…>]

When answering mails, the latest version of VI (and also the former stable 0.6.8) select a wrong sender identity by using the sender of the mail I answer to. I use TB 5, and the error did not occur with TB 3. Here is a log, slightly anonymized:

Tgis works better within an attachment.....

Hi Nico,

the critical lines are:

## vI_smartIdentity: Reply()
## vI_smartIdentity: reply on non-received (sent?) mail. Using SmartDraft. 
## vI_smartIdentity: ReplyOnSent() (rules like SmartDraft)
## vI_smartIdentity: __SmartDraftOrReplyOnSent()

The mail you are replying to does not contain a received-header. Just disable the detection based on header (first tab, first item) and it should work.

Hope this helps, please reopen the ticket if not.

Regards, Rene

I can hand you over the header of the mail I answered. It does contain even two lines of Received headers :)

Received: from mail.avm.de (mail.avm.de [212.42.244.120])

But, as you mentioned, unticking that option solved my problem. But is there any speciality with this option to let it better checked and solve that bug?

Hi,

:) ok, seems like it's still working in my test-environments. Can you check if the received-header is detected when you select this email in the main three-pane-window? There should be a line like:

## vI_getHeader: found header: received  ...stored to recognize received mail

Do you see this line?

Thanks for helping to make the extension better, nice regards, Rene

[Nico Haase <nico@…>]

Yeah, I found the bad guy: VI interferes with ​Thunderbird Conversations. If I deactivate that addons, the recognition based on the received-header works again. But as I really like TC, I ask for a good workaround once more. Should it bother me that the identity cannot be determined by the received header?

[rene]

Hi,

fixed this issue in [cb01622e1fbe5f]. This works in my test-environment with Thunderbird-Conversation, not that I used it very much. Please test this at your side (reactivate the received-detection) and give some feedback. It's part of 0.8.0pre1.

Regards, Rene

[Nico Haase <nico@…>]

Thanks, that solved the bug!
