• str4d commented:

Is the replying bug reliably reproducible for you? Can you provide an example of it? I have tested repling to emails from users not in my addressbook, and on 0.2.10 I do see username + " wrote:".

The To: column in the sent mailbox is never going to have a name associated with it for users not in the address book. I2P-Bote strips out the names from sent emails, in order to keep local contact names private - see Email.removeRecipientNames(). Altering this to only do so for addresses in the local book would be more complicated, and would still leak information.
