Mail::Box - forward of Debian bug report

Hi- I'm forwarding bug report about Mail::Box:

Subject: Bug#229979: Mail::Message::Construct::Reply: automatic prelude construction is broken

Package: libmail-box-perl
Version: 2.052-1
Severity: normal

Mail::Message::Construct::Reply::reply passes $to to replyPrelude,
under the assumption that the person you are sending the reply to is
the person who send the original mail (which is kinda wrong).

This breaks because $to might be an array reference (if it was
constructed from a Reply-To field, for example), and replyPrelude
can't do anything with that (and in fact throws an exception).

The workaround is to call replyPrelude by hand with a suitable value
(like $msg->sender) and pass it in.
