Hi,

I just noticed that role selection with # for replying does not work
anymore for me with my build of alpine 2.0: I get the action (reply,
bounce,...) and role selection menus, but the actual composition still has
the same role as it would without the #, i.e., the default one or the
mailbox specific one.

Has anyone else encountered this?
I consider it possible that it has to do with my local config/build
(gentoo bugzilla ebuild with all-chappa and perhaps some other patches),
but this is the first place to check.

It works pretty much as advertised in PC-alpine; I think the screens
come up in the wrong order though, I would expect the 'choose role'
screen to come next when I press '#' instead the 'Reply, Forward or
Bounce?' message comes up as the next action. And the filter to
always use a certain role when in a certain message folder doesn't
work.

That order is typical as far as I know.

Strange, it does for me (unix alpine though...).

It doesn't seem right, intuitively.

Hi Erik,

This is a bug in all.patch, but it was fixed a few weeks ago. If
this is happening with the latest version (as of today) please let me
know and I will take a look at it again. I am sorry for the
inconvenience.

Thank you
