I seem to have uncovered a strange behaviour in elm 2.2 PL0.
If I bounce a message that I have received from person A to person B
and then person B does a group reply to that message, the To: line
in the header has my login name (as expected, I guess), but the
comment attached to it in parentheses has the name of Person A.
Specifically, it looked like this:
To: don (Brian Klinker)
The name in parentheses was the full name of the person who sent me
the message originally and this was in the header of the message
I recieved in reply from the person (B) to whom I bounced it.
It would seem that this is abnormal. Also, person A did not get
a copy of the group reply to the bounced message.
I do not have a lot of knowledge of mail standards regarding this,
but I would think that person A should have gotten a copy of the
group reply in addition to the header line having my full name and
not that of the original sender. If I am incorrect, please tell
me how this should work. If this is fixed in one of the patches
to elm, sorry for the inconvenience of this posting, but I have not
had a chance yet to implement the patches since the signature
problem in patch 8 reared its ugly head.
