Re: [Mutt] #2976: Mutt writes unsolicited "Lines" and
#2976: Mutt writes unsolicited "Lines" and "Content-Length" headers
Comment (by rtc):
The only use for such headers are messages in mboxcl2 format. Buch such
messages cannot be read correctly without such headers, anyway. So such
messages always contain these headers from the first time they are
written. (In fact, mutt uses mboxcl2 format when writing sent messages
into the outbox, which it shouldn't--it should write them in mboxrd
format.) Please explain what utility for Mutt and/or the end user you mean
if you see one that goes beyond that. I see it as incorrect behaviour if
such headers are ever added by a mailer to already existing messages. But
your proposal would be fine for me, too. It should be a trivial
enhancement to the attached patch.
