Package: icedove
Version: 38.5.0-1~deb8u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Thanks for working in Icedove.
* What led up to the situation?
I try to send mail with a custom header, and the mail gets sent, but the
headers in that mail get broken (blank sender, blank subject, blank date).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1.- Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Config editor
2.- Write mail.compose.other header to find the setting and double click
3.- Add a custom header, for example, "Review" (without quotes)
4.- Accept everything.
5.- Write a mail, recipient can be any mail address, even yours. Drop down
"To:" again, to select the custom header (should appear as "Review:") and write
an email there, for example [email protected]. Fill in subject and body, and
send the email.
* What was the outcome of this action?
What is received (and appears in the Sender's "Sent" folder) is a mail with
blank date and sender and subject, and no custom header, or the message "BAD
HEADERS" when all the headers are examined. The body of the email is OK.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The recipient should get an email with proper date, sender, subject, and if all
the headers examined, the header "Review: [email protected].
I've tested this in two Debian stable box, and could reproduce the problem.
I've asked some friends to reproduce the problem with these results:
* Ubuntu + Thunderbird 31.3.0 -> could not reproduce
* Windows 7 + Thunderbird 38.5.1 -> could not reproduce
* Debian sid + Icedove 38.5.0-1+b1 -> could reproduce the problem
* Debian sid + Icedove from experimental 42.0~b2-1 -> could reproduce the
problem
I hope it's something easy to fix!
Best regards
