what, you mean in the whole millionth of a second that it takes to add a header to an already parsed message? besides, if the message gets deleted *and* expunged, then evolution will remove it from disk as well as remove it from the message-list shown to the user. same as if the suer had deleted/expunged the message. > Since a copy has to be made, the message id will change. no it won't. > > Again, this does not happen with evo closed, only running.

I can assure you. If you don't believe me, take a look at the message sources via another mailer. they won't have that header. > > As an aside, can we not create fake headers when viewing message > source?
