(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+])

** Observed with 5/31/2000 Win32 build ** Now that the Accept-Language UI has been implemented, you can try setting preferred languages via Edit | Prefs | Navigator | Languages But when we send out msgs, we seem to be using just the hard-coded "en" for it in the X-Accept-Language header. For example, X-Accept-Language: en We need to pick up the value(s) of this item from: intl.accept_languages in the prefs.js so that the values set by the user are correctly reflected in the X-Accept-Language header.
There is a bug currently which says that we are not sending HTTP-Accept Language header values correctly and instead sending a hard-coded value. This is a regression from Beta 1 where it was working. This is Bug 41046. X-Accecpt Language in Mail seems to be different from this in that it was not sending the correct string in Beta 1, either.
QA contact to myself.

Ok, I have a very simple fix for this in my tree. - rhp

Target Milestone: --- → M17
I'm nominating this bug for nsbeta2 because some servers and clientts depend on there being correct X-Accept-Language header values sent. We are simply incorrect in sending values not selected by the user.
Keywords: nsbeta2
Some of the operations which will not work if this bug is not fixed: 1. IMAP Server error message in different languages. Language extension support should be coming soon. 2. DSN in different languages -- some servers support this. 3. MDN in different languages -- 4.73/4 supports this.
Putting on nsbeta2+ radar.

Just waiting for M16 to get out the door.
