257532 - spoofed headers marks fresh email as already read

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196749

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Kae Verens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

I get quite a lot of spam. recently, I've been receiving email which is flagged
as already read.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://webworks.ie/test.php
2. enter your email address in the box and hit submit
3. check your email

Actual Results:  
I received an email which was marked as already read.

Expected Results:  
I expected an unread email.

The flag for read emails is spoofed in the mail sending thing by sending
"X-Mozilla-Status: 0011" as a header. When I check a fresh email, I see that
there is another X-Mozilla-Status with 0000 as the value, buit that is
overridden by the spoofed one.
  I see this trick used sometimes by spammers.

Which TB version (build number)? Should be fixed, see Bug 196749. Dupe?
