Set Reply-To header to original recipients

[norbye]

The email sent from the system is normally used as a thread. Currently you have to either select the emails manually or hit reply all and remove the sender email.

Has been tested and works the way I expected it to(:

Wouldn't the expected behaiviour here would be that it replies to the sender of the receipt? I feel like it could be confusing if it doesn't follow normal email convention

But I don't use the system myself, so I don't really know what the typical use cases are.

The reason I added both the sender and the receiver is sortof twofold

• The same email is sent to both - so if you set reply-to to be only the sender of the receipt, then the sender would reply to itself if it pressed the reply-button
• The recipient is normally an email-list, and as such it's neat for the rest of the list to continue to be in the thread if there is any discussion (although the list normally only has one recipient, it is normal to be two recipients for a few months when transitioning from one to another)

You're probably right though - so I'll see if there are any better ways of solving this. Did some more testing and it turns out when you reply to yourself without an email-list it will pop up as unread in your inbox even if you're the sender - which is kinda annoying..

Hmm, I guess it's kind of unintuitive either way when the same email is sent to the sender and recipients. But I feel like for recipients discussing the email they should be using reply-all and just remove the sender, as this is what you would do for any other incoming email.
In any case I think the most important thing is that it doesn't work in some unexpected way that leads to people not receiving emails they should get, so rather include too many recipients than too few imo.
