336581 - MDN contains Disposition-Notification-To: header (RFC3798 non conformance)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Antony]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

When TB generates an MDN it adds the Disposition-Notification-To: header to the MDN.  This breaks RFC3798

MDN headers were:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return-Path: <[e-mail]>
Received: from [127.0.0.1] ([127.0.0.1]) by aconcagua with ESMTP
id m54aa9p1; 4 May 2006 10:10:00 +0300
Date: Thu, 04 May 2006 10:10:41 +0300
From: [e-mail]
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>
Subject: Return Receipt (displayed) - RE: 060327-000000 TOALARM
To: "Original Sender" <[e-mail]>
References: <[e-mail]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=disposition-notification;
boundary="------------mdn040107020400020609030607"
Disposition-Notification-To: [e-mail]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section "2.1 The Disposition-Notification-To Header" of the spec says about the DNT header:

An MDN MUST NOT itself have a Disposition-Notification-To header. An
MDN MUST NOT be generated in response to an MDN.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Respond OK to generate a receipt when receiving a message requesting receipt
2. MDN Contains DNT header
3.

Actual Results:  
MDN Contains DNT header

Expected Results:  
MDN should not contain DNT header

Moving this to Core:MailNews Backend, like bug 270781.
(Note there is a Return Receipts component, but that's only under the Mozilla suite and the MDN code is shared between suite and TB.)

I can't reproduce this using TB 1.5 or TB 2b1-1111, Win2K.

Possibly this was a misconception. TB cites the original headers, and of course in those Disposition-Notification-To exists, but it's in the MDN body and totally ok.

Tried to reproduce with 2.0.0.9 and it must have been fixed in v2 at some point.

This isn't "FIXED" unless you can point to the exact bug that fixed it. :)
