Email forward ends up in original topic

I have just tested this with Category mirrors a mailing list enabled for both Category A and Category B and I can now replicate the issue. :partying_face:

  • Set up CategoryA and CategoryB, and assign them email-in addresses (categorya@[MyTestSite] and categoryb@[MyTestSite])
  • Set Category mirrors a mailing list for each category
  • Set test_user to Watching for both categories
  • Set email time window mins to 1 min (optional, but speeds things up)
  • Admin posts topic to CategoryA
  • Test_user receives notification email of new topic in CategoryA, and forwards it with message to CategoryB
  • The forward appears as a reply to the original topic in Category A

I’m not that hot on mailing lists, would this be a bug or a settings conflict?

And does this sound like it could help with your issue too @dachary?
