Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Click on Forward when you receive an email with an attachment.
  2. Write a message and add recipient addresses.
  3. Change the sender address to a different email account.

Notes:

  • I don't know if it's necessary to have attachments, but it was in my case.
  • Steps 2 and 3 can also be reversed, with the same result.
Expected behavior

Forward emails with a different sender address that has also been set up as a mailbox.

Actual behavior
  • The message “Error saving draft” (de: "Fehler beim Speichern des Entwurfs") appears at the bottom left.
  • The message can no longer be sent. Nothing happens when you click on the “Send” button.
