Details

I started writing a post to a newsgroup, but had to reboot before I'd finished it. So I closed the window, and saved the unfinished post to my Drafts folder. When I recalled it, finished it and sent it, I noticed that the From: line had changed from the name & address associated with my news account, to those associated with my email account (which is bad bad BAD! because that address is not spamtrapped!!) To reproduce: 1. Select a newsgroup 2. Hit compose 3. Observe that the From: line is set to the name & address associated with that news account 4. Enter a subject and some text, then close the Compose window 5. Hit "Save" on the "Do you want to save the message in the Drafts folder?" dialog 6. Go to Local Folders/Drafts and reopen the message 7. The From: line has changed to the address associated with your first email account!
Which build are you using? This is working fine for me on Windows NT with the following build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607 Netscape/7.0b1
This is with the official 1.0 release build, build ID 2002053012, under WindowsME. I'll grab a newer nightly and check it there when I get a chance..
I know it's been a couple of months since I entered this bug, but it's still the same. I just installed 1.1 and it behaves in exactly the same way. If it helps, my mail/news setup is a single email account, and three news accounts. When I start a post from any of the news accounts, it brings up the From: line correctly, but if I close it, save to Drafts, then re-open, the From: line always changes to the (unspamtrapped!!) email address associated with my email account.
Oh, forgot to add, I'm using Windows 2000 Professional now, not ME anymore. This is the Mozilla 1.1 for Windows (build 20020826) from the www.mozilla.org Releases page.
