Forwarding mail from 'sent' folder fails?

[isbeen]

Hi all, some users pointed out that they are having problems forwarding email from their 'sent' folder. By default, the 'from address' is listed as our primary sugar address, instead of the senders address. There is a checkbox next to the 'from' field that is lableled "Use Mailbox From: Address", and unchecking this sets the 'from' to the proper user address. What is the purpose of this "Use Mailbox From: Address" and is there a way to turn it off by default for all users? I can't find any reference to this option in the wiki or in the forums.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

The "Use Mailbox From" ties to the reply-to (From address) for a given InboundEmail instance. In the case of "Sent"-type messages, there is no value given so it will default to the system's email address.

You're welcome to file a bug on this, but Email is completely rewritten in 5.0. That particular functionality is going away.
