269678 - Remove X-Mozilla-Status headers from incoming email

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196749

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Fnord]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I'm using Mozilla Mail 1.7...

I've noticed an increase in spam messages that are apparently including a
X-Mozilla-Status header in the incoming message. The messages appear in my inbox
with various symptoms: status set to "Replied", hilighted with a label, marked
as already-read, etc. The last is especially annoying because I'll POP down 6
messages but only see 3 "new" messages -- so I have to hunt through the inbox to
find the stealth spam. [Many are also setting bogus Date headers, so these
messages are buried amongst previous weeks/months email.]

AFAIK, all this stuff is controlled by the X-Mozilla-Status (and
X-Mozilla-Status2?] headers, and these headers should never be expected from
incoming email.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
I'm not sure how to reproduce/validate this, by the time the message is in the
inbox it's too late. Any way to dump the unfiltered incoming data to a logfile?
