I often need to add a custom header (X-...) to a new mail message. E.g. to
specify  username and password for secure mailing lists.

Would be nice if I could simply right click on the available headers
("To","Cc","Bcc",...) to add a new one.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose new mail
2. Search for a way to add a custom header.
3. :o)

Actual Results:  
Found nothing.

Expected Results:  
Found a way to add a custom header.

bug 16925 (already fixed) already allows to add them in the prefs.js file
bug 16904 is about the UI

Since bug 16925 is already fixed, Ill make this a dupe of bug 16904

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16904 ***
