Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

*** observed with 2002-03-01 build ***
in 6.2.1 the "Customize" key search was added to the list. We had this feature
in 4.x but not in Netscape6.It allows you to add a header for filtering or
searching. I am able to create such header using accented chars but nothing else
(double-byte, cyrillic, central european), they display garbled in the drop-down
list. I'll attach the screen-shot.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Search window;
- among the noun criterias like Subject, sender etc select Customize...
- in the upcoming dlgbox type a new header using any script except Latin-1;
- click add (note that at this point the display is correct);
//now click on the noun criteria to chose the customized header as a search
criteria, note the display is garbled

Message headers has to be in ASCII only. We need to filter out non ASCII input.

Non-ASCII header labels are not legal.
