mail.compose.other.header doesn't show up for me in 104.0b3 when I search for it in Config Editor. I even followed https://www.lifewire.com/arbitrary-custom-heading-email-thunderbird-1173089

mail.compose.other.header shows for me on Mac 104.0b3. It shows the edit button, but no value. So it is current at default setting.

Yes, this has been reproducible for 20 years (and just re-confirmed for 105.0a1 (2022-08-10) (64-bit), and TB 91.12.0 (32-bit), Win10) - Bug 195716.

  • After saving, the custom header is still present (View > headers > All, or Ctrl+U for source).
  • Custom header gets silently discarded when draft is re-opened for editing.
