Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
I have been using Balsa for many years. Installed ubuntu 8x about a year ago on laptop - worked great! I was mildly surprised and pleased. Upgraded to Karmic and balsa will not send email. All "compositions" got directly to "outbox" with red exclamation point and none of the emails have a "To" field in the header. All emais in "sentbox" (prior to upgrade to karmic) show a To field with a valid address. As near as I can tell, ubuntu 8x had balsa 2.3.25 installed while current (broken) version is 2.3.28. I have not been able to find a bug report for this problem in balsa so I am assuming it is your build. Please respond as soon as possible since i have been depending on this laptop - I did not anticipate broken software since everyting else worked really well.
Thank in advance

I hope this helps in troubleshooting this problem since I still don't have use of email on this system.
Upon "sending" email (compose/send), the client never connects to smtp server, instead, the message is dumped into the Outbox.
Looking at the mail headers in all the messages in outbox, there is not one with a "To:" field
the fields Date:, From:, Reply-To:, Subject:, X-Mailer:, etc. are present but no To: field.
I just did another test and the CC: field is missing also.
Is there is a config change between 2.3.25 and 2.3.28? All operation seems normal except client won't add the To: and Cc: fields so the email fails.
Thank you for looking into this,
Allan
