365594 - Whine mails should have a header identifying them

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Whining, enhancement)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

In order to automatically filter whine mails, it would be nice if they had a header identifying them, e.g.:

X-Bugzilla-Type: whine

(similar to what request mails do)

For the record, the file to edit is template/en/default/whine/multipart-mime.txt.tmpl

Not a regression :-)

X-Bugzilla-Type headers were added in bug 135812 to most generated mail, including the whineatnews.pl template (email/whine.txt.tmpl). Header was originally added to whine.pl template (whine/multipart-mime.txt.tmpl) but was mysteriously left out from patch v10 and was never added back. :(

Honestly, why not add this to 3.4 too.
