280271 - Request: Scriptable Custom Header Retrieval

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: MIME, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Nacey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

The nsIMsgHdr interface does not allow for the retrieval of custom mail headers.
This makes it difficult to script extensions that need to make use of custom
headers. It would be great to have something like:

var spamStatus = msgHeader.headers['X-IMAIL-SPAM'];

or

var spamStatus = msgHeader.GetHeaderValue('X-IMAIL-SPAM');

If I am missing another scriptable interface that performs this function, please
let me know.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Retrieve an nsIMsgHdr in JavaScipt
2. Try to get a custom header from this object.
3.



Expected Results:  
Provide for the retrieval of part of the message header.
