Vacation not using correct email address

[Jonathan Bayer]

I just installed vacation on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 system.  It isn't working.  When I installed the debug version, I saw that it isn't using the correct address.

Here are the headers of a test email message:

Hi there,

That's a bug!  It looks like the old code doesn't treat Reply-To: correctly!

RFC 2822 says that Reply-To: can include name-addr and that's not handled.

The code is rather ugly I'm afraid, will see if I can get that fixed before 1.2.7.0 gets released..

[Chris Samuel]

I'll also see if I can move this to the bugs section..

[Chris Samuel]

Hmm, it won't let me, could you file a bug against this problem please ?

thanks!

[Chris Samuel]

Just updating - this is fixed in the current beta4 - though be warned it has a compilation problem which will be fixed in beta5.

[Chris Samuel]

Beta 5 is now out, which should work!
