It is a core feature used for keeping senders details intact. comment:4 Changed 5 months ago by damato
After reading your request and thinking about the matter again, I agree that we should change the current behaviour if the 'bounce' functionality to comply with common standards. See, e.g. http://mailredirect.mozdev.org/ for a similar functionality provided for thunderbird. However, we should do the following to be fully compliant:
If all of the above is fullfilled I think fixing the bounce functionality like you expecting it would be possible. comment:5 Changed 5 months ago by johnblock
FAQ 4:3 Bounce has been included as you describe since version 2.3
And called Bounce
Please if you have to change the name make it Bounce Redirect
The Amiga B combination is used for Bounce Amiga - M (Mail Redirect) Amiga - R (Redirect) are in use comment:6 Changed 5 months ago by damato
Thanks for the hint. It has benn long ago since I enhanced the bounce functionality in YAM. With the new identity management I might have introduced the current missbehaviour. Nevertheless, just because the feature has been called Bounce since 2001 doesn't make it more correct (Bounce gives the impression that the festure can be used to sent mail back to the sender easily). Things change over time and so the naming, but I will take care not to change the hotkey if possible. In addition, I have to amend the FAQ entry to add some comments on implications on having redirected mail identified as SPAM today since you are usually not allowed to sent mail with a foreign From:.
Nevertheless, the ticket is now accepted and I will adress it as soon as I am at my computer again. comment:7 Changed 5 months ago by johnblock
Perhaps solves this (not noticed delivery issues) using Sender: loggedinto@mailbox.net From: "supplied@address.com" <eg:original@address.com>
Like Yam, before 2.8 removed the useful feature, you can put anything in the From: (except webmail addresses) comment:8 Changed 4 months ago by damato

Before considering your request, can you please elaborate why you feel the original senders' From: should be added when you use the Bounce functionality? For which purpose do you use this function?
