How to add an Approved: header to an article?
Simon
Moderated newsgroup for $COMPANY using Thunderbird, however even with
the TB Header Tools Extension v0.6.6, I still can't seem to get it to
go. The header simply never makes it into the article and as a result
never shows up.
Any guesses where to look next?
The Real Bev
Where did you find that? I just upgraded to TB Header Tools Extension
0.5.0. What I wanted to do was change the subject of an email to
reflect the date I need to do something about it so I won't forget; it
made the change in the editing screen, but not in the message or message
list.
Useless for TWO things now.
> Any guesses where to look next?
When I did this I saved the message into Unsent Messages and edited it
with a text editor before sending it. Crude, but it worked.
Now that I've told you that, of course, I'm going to have to kill you.

http://www.supportware.net/mozilla/HeaderTools.xpi is where 0.6.0 is
mislabeled. That's 0.6.6.

It worked for me. Write message, send later. Go to Unsent Messages
folder, right-click on message, click on 'change header details' and
then 'edit full source'. I guess I don't have to kill you after all,
but I hope you use your power for good.

You mean mislabeled as 4.5?
...download...install...restart...
Er, I mean mislabedled as 5.0. What's wrong with that guy? Anyway,
this one actually worked so I'm happy. Thanks!

If there's a line in the headers that says "Approved: Yup", I got it to
work with a new message.

WOO-HOO!
Write message. Send later. Open message in Unsent Messages.
Right-click on Header Toos/Change Header Details. Click on Edit Full
Source. Do it. Click OK. Send unsent messages.

Once you add a list of Headers to "user_pref" as outlined in the
MozillaZine article listed above, you can simply select one of the new
headers by clicking on a new recipient field to get another recipient
line, and then clicking on the Header Button and selecting the other
header that you want to use (eg; "Approved:"), and then fill in the header
field with an appropriate (not arbitrary) value. The added header is
included in the NEW note - no need to play with mailboxes.

If I understand you correctly, what you want is explained, using the
|mail.compose.other.header| pref.

When I put that line in user.js it didn't work; I had to add it to the
already-existing entry in prefs.js, to which I had previously added two
headers.
