Bug 4252

Summary:	uses default account for replies
Product:	Claws Mail (GTK 2)	Reporter:	Ricardo Mones <mones>
Component:	Plugins/vCalendar	Assignee:	users
Status:	NEW ---
Severity:	enhancement
Priority:	P3
Version:	3.17.5
Hardware:	PC
OS:	Linux

Description Ricardo Mones 2019-09-16 20:29:59 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

- Receive a calendar invitation for account@somedomain which isn't 
configured as an account in Claws Mail
- Display invitation with vCalendar (if not configured to do so automatically)
- Select a response (e.g. 'Accept') and click Reply button

Result:

- Default account is used to reply, exposing an address unknown to the invitation sender, and also potentially unleashing an address the sender should better not know :)

Expected:

- Either ask for which account to use for responding (from the ones in the invitation) and configure a SMTP account on the fly for sending the reply
- or, alternatively, refuse to answer (e.g. 'No account available for responding') until the right account is configured (more easy than the other option, I guess :)

Thanks in advance,

you could just use the Templates of the folder Properties to set the From address.

Suggested workaround doesn't work here. BTW, I don't see how templates would apply, but anyway, I've set the expected email address everywhere in the folder props but this didn't change what the vcal plug-in does: send using the wrong one.
