Impossible to modify an identity before sending.

[virtual-id@…]

Hello,

I received an email on mail3. I wanted to forward it to a friend (using stored email address mail2), but a pop up window appeared saying "Impossible to modify an identity before sending".

In the following log, please consider this :

Me       mail1@mydomain.com -> default virtual email @
Me2      mail2@mydomain2.com -> used to forward this email
         mail3@mydomain.com -> used to receive this email
A Friend friend@otherdomain.com -> the email recipient to forward this email to

END OF LOG -----------------------------------------------------

After this, I only changed my name (not my virtual email) from "Me" to "Me3". The email was sent (no log to provide as the window is automatically closed after sending)

Hi,

thanks for the informative report.

Interestingly your id "Me2" is checked against your permanent Identities and is recognized as the same than your default identity "Me"

** v_identity.xml checkForVirtualIdentity: id24 'Me2 <mail1@mydomain.com>'
## vI_identityData: isExistingIdentity: ignoreFullNameWhileComparing='false'
## vI_identityData: isExistingIdentity: Me <mail2@mydomain2.com> found, id='id25'
## vI_msgIdentityCloneTools: signatureSwitch restore signature

How big is the difference between those identities, are there only upper-lower-case differences or something like that? (but this was fixed in 0.6.5 anyway...strange...)

Can you additionally check for Messages in the Error Console (Tools Menu), maybe there is something related to the problem.

Hope to catch the bug soon, nice regards,

Rene
