Hi,
I'm looking for a new email client so am experimenting with
claws-mail and am impressed so far. I'm wondering, though, if there is
any real necessity for or way to prevent the addition of a long set of
often cryptic header lines that seem to end with
"X-Claws-End-Special-Headers: 1" to the copy of outgoing emails saved in
the Sent folder. These headers do not appear to be included in the
emails as they are sent to the outgoing SMTP server but are saved in the
MH files and are also visible by using Claws-Mail's view source option
on items in the Sent folder.
Aside from a general preference that
the email source as saved match that which was actually sent, I intend
to use other scripts/programs to do various processing against the
source email files and would prefer not to have to work around these
extra headers.
As a messy alternative, is any harm likely to
occur if I just delete all header lines up to and including the
"X-Claws-End-Special-Headers" line from the Sent items via a
post-processing rule executing an external script? These headers appear
to contain primarily information about the options that were used in
composing the message, and I have no particular interest in keeping
track of that, but I'm not sure if that is their only function.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this,
Zibeli
