Details

(Keywords: regression) 

As part of the fix for Bug 133437, the MSG_FLAG_MDN_REPORT_SENT flag is set for all sent (FCC) messages even if they don't contain an MDN request (see <http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/compose/src/nsMsgSend.cpp#4613>). This subverts the original meaning of the flag and, if for no other reason, should be avoided.

 A better fix for the problem reported in Bug 133437 would be to test whether the message is a sent message when determining whether an MDN report is to be sent, which would require implementation of a sent message flag (RFE Bug 402329). Then the code which sets MSG_FLAG_MDN_REPORT_SENT on FCC messages when it is not appropriate could be removed.

Wayne, thoughts?

(I'm not sure if this is Mac-specific.)
Sorry, I have no experience here. Over to Magnus
