Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16902

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

You can filter mail on most common SMTP headers except "reply-to".

It would be nice for an "other" option to specify the header by name e.g.
"x-mailer".  You could then filter out Outlook users to the trash...  ;-)

Wow, I thought we supported reply-to as search/filter criterion already.

Seth, do you think it would be hard to implement it? I would like to try my 
hand at some backend stuff anyway...

reply-to is not a common header for people to filter / search on.  

so it should not be in there by default.

but, it is exactly type of thing custom headers is designed for.

this is a dup of the "support custom headers" bug.

I beg to differ. Listbots often replace headers so that a post's To: field
matches the sender and the list is BCC:'d with the Reply-To: set to the list.

NSCP has Reply-To by default and my 4.x filters filtered my lists correctly, now
after migrating to Mozilla, it does not.

...you can also add "Resent-From" to the list of headers listbots often use.

I'm looking at 4.x on windows and I don't see "Reply To:" as a default header
choice.

can you screen shot 4.x and attach it?

Mea culpa...I added it via the advanced tab years ago and forgot that I had.

Shoot me.
