317068 - mozilla those extends references by the MID, although she is contained at the end

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Alexander Kluss]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051104 SeaMonkey/1.1a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051104 SeaMonkey/1.1a

With the tests of defective Mails I determined, that Mozilla adds the MessageID again when I answering a Mail which already stands the own MessageID in the References.
I think that the MessageID stands only once in the references header.

Reproducible: Always

Alex, Summary/description are quite unclear: do you mean that whenever a mail's References: already contain the MID of the message, replying will add it again, like this?

References: a b c
Message-Id: c

=>

References: a b c c
Message-Id: d

Can you attach an example mail producing the problem?
Actually, this an uncritical edge case anyway, hence reducing severity.

I seem to recall seeing this fixed in v3. But I can't find the bug.

[David :Bienvenu]

well, I just landed a change that makes us ignore a reference that's the same as the message-id for threading purposes, (bug 474790) but I'm not sure if that will fix this or not (or if this was fixed by some other change along the way)
