1184673 - Thunderbird allows multiple addresses in From:

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Filters, defect)

Description

[ultimitloozer]

Attachment: Trash)11372.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; GWX:RESERVED; MALNJS; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Steps to reproduce:

Receive new emails


Actual results:

Received new emails although many (spam) emails contain multiple email addresses in the From: field which makes them impossible to filter via rules.


Expected results:

Received emails with multiple addresses in the From: field should be automatically rejected.  What would be the overall utility of it besides providing a way to avoid spam filters?  And Thunderbird itself does not allow multiple From: field entries which is the correct interpretation of the RFCs dealing with email.
