469222 - Messages marked as Junk have invalid headers (">From - ..." is generated by Tb due to Bug 381472, and some IMAP servers reject it with "Message contains invalid header")

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 147191

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Lincoln Ramsay]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.18 (20081105)

I get my mail from an IMAP server. Thunderbird sometimes mistakenly identifies a message as Junk and moves it to the local Junk folder. I can no longer drag this message back to the IMAP server. I get the error message "Message contains invalid header".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Thunderbird marks a messages a junk and moves it off the IMAP server.
2. Un-"junk" the message and drag it back to the IMAP server.

Actual Results:  
Cannot be done due to invalid headers.

Expected Results:  
Message should move to the IMAP server.

Here's what I see when I look at the message (going through the filesystem, not via Thunderbird).

From - Thu Dec 11 16:52:03 2008
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000
>From - Thu Dec 11 16:52:03 2008
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000
...

The duplicated X-Mozilla-Status fields are a bit puzzling but they do not cause a problem. The actual problem is the >From line. Removing this line allows me to drag this message over to the IMAP server.
