hi hakkers,

i have two actors: the first one patterns.ask() a message to the second one 
which returns a response:

a snippet osender: 

...
    public PartialFunction<Object, BoxedUnit> receive() {
        return ReceiveBuilder
                .match( Boolean.class, msg -> {
                    ActorRef receiver = context().system()
                                                 .actorOf( Props.create( 
ReceiveActor.class ), ReceiveActor.class
                                                         .getSimpleName() );
                    Future<Object> future = Patterns.ask( receiver, "Hello 
world", new Timeout( Duration
                            .create( 5, "seconds" ) ) );
                    Patterns.pipe( future, context().dispatcher() ).to( self() 
);
                } )
                .match( String.class, msg-> log(msg) )
                .build();
    }
    *...*


receiver:

...
    public PartialFunction<Object, BoxedUnit> receive() {

        return ReceiveBuilder.matchAny( msg -> {
            sender().tell( ((String)msg).toUpperCase(), self() );
        } ).build();
    }
...


all is good, a message is sent and response arrives as expected.

now, i try to change a receiver so that the message handling is done in a 
separate thread:

...
public PartialFunction<Object, BoxedUnit> receive() {
    return ReceiveBuilder.matchAny( msg -> { 
        Future<String> done= Futures.future( (Callable<String>) () -> 
((String)msg).toUpperCase(), context().dispatcher() ) ;
        done.onSuccess( new OnSuccess<String>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess( String result ) throws Throwable {
                sender().tell( result, self() );
            }
        }, context().dispatcher() );
    } ).build();
}
...


in this case i get the following error: 

[akka://main/deadLetters] Message [java.lang.String] from 
Actor[akka://main/user/ReceiveActor#603147641] to 
Actor[akka://main/deadLetters] was not delivered.

it seems that sender() within the future is not recognizable as my sender 
actor anymore.

what do i miss and what is the solution? 

thanks!
