%header.set(to,"[addressee]")% no longer working

[JohnFLand]

A template of mine that worked fine before the 2020 updates to TB (I'm now on TB 78.5.0) no longer inserts an addressee. The text for the body of the email is inserted fine. Here's the entire template:

%header.set(to,"John Smith <johnsmith@domain.com>")%
<p>John --</p>
<p>%cursor%</p>
%sig(html)%

Is there a workaround?

Are you using that in a reply template or in a write (compose new)? I am not sure if I tested this a lot with "new mail" so that may be related.

That looks like regression, needs to be fixed ASAP. I will post a beta here as soon as it's done!

This template (and similar templates) is for composing new messages. Most of my new emails go to a small collection of individual addressees. Not having a problem with replies. John Land

Thanks for clarifying. It would make sense as the addressing-widget has changed and I think there is some special trickery going on for that composition case. I see that there is some rewriting necessary in "modifyHeader( ) " function to work with the new addressing widget toAddrContainer the old one was a listbox addressingWidget which contained multiple items. Will post a beta here soon.

OK, I got one for you - can you try out this version please:
smartTemplate-fx-3.2pre2.zip

To install, download and drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager.

My test template (write new case)

%header.set(to,"John Smith <johnsmith@domain.com>")%
%header.set(cc,"Axel Smith <axesmith@domain.com>")%
<p>Dear %to(firstname)% --</p>
<p>%cursor%</p>
%sig(html)%

result:

I also test with an additional line
%header.append(to,"Real Raven <rr2k@hotmail.com>")%
and this will fill 2 addressees into the to line as expected:

Joy! Works fine, thanks for the prompt resolution! John Land
