CreateFromMailMessage generates duplicated From and To addresses

[jacargentina]

When using MimeKit.MimeMessage.CreateFromMailMessage static method to convert my .NET -MailMessage to a MimeMessage, i get a mail which has duplicates on the message.From and message.To collections.

Example

Original MailMessage

• From: [email protected]
• To: [email protected]

Result MimeMessage

• From: [email protected], [email protected]
• To: [email protected], [email protected]

I have a theory. Are you doing the conversion of your MailMessage into a MimeMessage after sending it via System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient?

Looking at Microsoft's reference source for MailMessage, it looks like the MailMessage.From, To, etc are not pushed to the MailMessage.Headers until the message is sent, but I'm not 100% sure about that (I've really just given their source code a quick glance).

Since CreateFromMailMessage() clones the headers and then adds the MailMessage.From, To, Cc, etc properties to the equivalent properties on MimeMessage, it would seem that the duplicating is coming from that.

Exactly, i've sent it already!
Anyway, doen't it seems like a bug? Or at least, API documentation should warn about that assumption on "the message was not sent!"

Oh, yes, it is still a bug. I just wanted to figure out why my tests hadn't discovered the problem and to make sure I was understanding what the issue was.

I have a patch I'm about to commit...

Okay, should be fixed now. I'll make a new MimeKit release this weekend and push new packages to NuGet when I do.
