151223 - Headers from mail.compose.other.header should not autocomplete addresses

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Simon Waldman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523
BuildID:    2002052309

If a custom header is created using the mail.compose.other.header pref, then Moz
tries to autocomplete it as an email address.
As an example, if a header is created called X-No-Archive:, it's not possible to
simply enter "Yes", as this gets completed to "[e-mail]".

This behaviour can be avoided by turning off address autocompletion, but that's
rather crippling... Could custom headers possibly have the same status as
Newsgroups:, ie not be considered email addresses? Or better still, make it an
option in the pref.

many thanks

Attachment: Proposed patch

This patch uses a pref mail.compose.other.autocomplete which I assume needs to
be defaulted in some file somewhere...
