'Compose' mail does not create the 'To:' field in the header, so 'Send' does nothing.

[Andy <andy findrew com>]

Hello everybody,

I have installed Balsa 2.3.28-1 on linux mint 8 (Helena) using the Synaptic Package Manager.

Receiving mail works fine, but it won't send mail (or reply) because the 'To:' field is not being created in the header.  This is true whether I use an entry from the address book or type the address in manually.

Here's an 'anonymised' example copied from my Outbox:

From user1 isp1 co uk Sun Oct 17 17:20:38 2010
Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:20:38 +0100
From: Andy <user1 isp1 co uk>
Reply-To: user1 isp1 co uk
Subject: test message
X-Mailer: Balsa 2.3.28
Message-Id: <1287332438 2628 0 Base>
X-Balsa-Fcc: file:///home/andyf/mail/sentbox
X-Balsa-SmtpServer: SMTP (findrew.com)
Status: RO
X-Status: F 
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable


This is the message text for test to demonstrate the missing 'To:' field.

As you see, there isn't a 'To:' field.  This is also apparent from viewing the message in the Outbox from within Balsa - the 'To' box is empty.

If I manually edit the outbox file and insert 'To: user2 isp2 co uk' between the 'Date:' and 'From:' lines it is then possible to send it successfully (after toggling flag).

So in summary: my SMTP works ok, but the 'To:' field has to be manually inserted first.  Also, the To: box within Balsa remains blank even with the field being manually added.

Any ideas?

Andy.
