  • State changed from “new” to “cantreproduce”

  I couldn't recreate this behavior using an email created by MailMate (with German and Danish characters in the Subject). Could you find an example and then use ⌥⌘U to provide me with the raw Subject header. I think that is all I need to make sure I can reproduce the issue.

  Thanks in advance.

  Here is the top portion of what is shown by opt-cmd-u:

  If you select this message and then use “Message ▸ Edit as New Message” you get the warning when sending?

  I cannot reproduce that. Does the Subject appear to be correct in the composer window before trying to send? (I cannot see that in the screenshots.)

  I guess I'll have to try again. Could you send me the message using “Message ▸ Forward as Attachment” (to mm-feedback)? I'll delete the headers you posted in this ticket to make sure they are not scraped by spammers.

  I might have figured it out:

  I just realized that the funky characters are reported for the "Original subject" not the current subject. You are looking at the current subject.

  This is an ongoing exchange with mails sent to several people in various combinations of To and CC addresses. I just noticed that emails from one person in the group have those funky characters in the subject. I just backtracked my contributions and realized that at some point I replied to an email from that person, apparently correcting the subject's spelling (on auto-pilot I guess). I then used Edit as New Message to sent a new mail email out, then used again Edit as New Message on that last email. MM seems to remember the original post with the funky chars, hence the warning even though the starter message looks fine.

  Thanks for the details. It makes sense. I'm not going to make it a high priority to improve this since it should be a pretty rare issue.

  Note that if you reply to a sent message then MailMate automatically creates a follow up message, that is, it does not swap sender/recipient. That's only useful if a follow-up message is what you are actually trying to do :)
