extra mail header and qmail complaint about bare LF (reposting)
Maurice Galland
Hi there,
I'm trying to add some extra mail header using the following line in the
user.js preferences file:
user_pref("mail.compose.other.header", "X-FAX-Dialstring");
The intended purpose is to use HylaFAX as a mail2fax relay.
The "X-FAX-Dialstring" does show up in my compose window, but when I try
to send the message, I get an alert window:
"An error occured while sending mail. The mail server responded: See
http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html.
. Please check the message and try again."
This is a typical qmail complaint about a bare LF in the message.
I use Mozilla 1.2.1 on RedHat Linux 7.3:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
and my SMTP server is qmail 1.03 on RedHat Linux 6.1.
An idea anyone ?
TIA, Maurice

Does this error occur with other custom headers like "X-Test-Something"?
What /value/ did you enter for the custom header?

I tried with the example described here:
http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/arch/compose/hiddenprefs.html
A custom header like "Approved" with a value of a real mail address like
"firstname...@domain.com" exhibits the same behaviour.
BTW, Mozilla 1.2.1 on Win2k SP2 does not work either.

My bad. bug introduced with fix for bug 16925
There is a patch awaiting review to fix this, whether it will get
approval for 1.3 is another matter.
Problem is a simple one liner in
