So there appear to have been some significant changes to CRM_Mailing_BAO_Mailing:create which I can't comprehend.

This function is called in Schedule.php (at the end of the Mailing) and now seems to overwrite all of the Mailing options that you just set in the previous 4 steps with the default options.

Is this intentional? Or a bug?

I've just had to comment out all of the new additions in a customphp folder to get things working again, which isn't a problem, but I can't understand why anyone would want to overwrite the headers, reply to email address, from e-mail address, tracking, forward reply settings etc with the default values right after they may have changed them.

So, from my reading, it looks like this was put in place as part of the Mailing API, and I assume that this was designed to use default headers and other settings.

However, since it is called from the last step of the CiviMail process, it seems like an unintended consequence has ben to completely overwrite all of the settings made during the CiviMail process?

Is this understanding correct?

If so, I think there needs to be some sort of if statement that treats the create function differently depending on whether it is called from the API, or elsewhere. Does that make sense?

I can recreate on the demo, so it appears to be a bug. I'll log it.
