177808 - In mail filter, customize headers, colons are accepted, and several issues follow

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 153251

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Olivier Miakinen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

I want to customize headers such as "X-Mailer:", "Reply-To:", "Received:", and
so on. The interface expects that we don't include the colon ("X-Mailer" instead
of "X-Mailer:"), but it is accepted anyway. After that, in prefs.js, the colons
are doubled because colons are also used as separators :
 user_pref("mailnews.customHeaders", "X-Mailer:: Reply-To:: Received:");

Several issues then occur, for example several "undefined" lines in the list of
headers. Also, I noticed on Netscape 7 (but didn't try to reproduce within
Mozilla) that sometimes the line in prefs.js increases at each start with
multiple occurences of the headers, and eventually it crashes.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Mozilla should refuse to customize a header which contains a colon. Also, the
popup window should state clearly that the user must not enter the colon when
typing the name of the header.
