adding custom headers to Thunderbird
|
|
| Lutrin 2006-11-25, 1:11 pm |
| Hi
I'm looking for a way to add these custom headers
Return-Receipt-To:
X-Confirm-Reading-To:
Disposition-Notification-To:
To thunderbird, in every message I send. I have already tried with
mnenhy but without results. Can anyone help me for alternative way to
do this?
thanks in advance

Put these three lines in your user.js file.
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.header1", "Return-Receipt-To:");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.header2", "X-Confirm-Reading-To:");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.header3",
"Disposition-Notification-To:");

First of all, Thanks.
I don't see user.js , just prefs.js I have modified this last, but in
sending messages only third header (Disposition-Notification-To is
added. Why this?

Not sure but it may be that TB is overriding the first two. I use the
technique successfully to add three headers in my SeaMonkey mail account.

Ooops! Sorry! Add
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.headers", "header1,header2,header3");
Spec as many headers as you are adding.

I will try in seamonkey. Inserting these extra headers do you have,
after sending a message, return and read receipt?
thanks anyway, few days ago my mailreader was calypso but after
installing a wi-fi card and router calypso don't send messages, so I
must use another mailreader

in other words I must add:
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.headers", "header1,header2,header3");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.header1", "Return-Receipt-To:");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.header2", "X-Confirm-Reading-To:");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.header3", "Disposition-Notification-To:");
right?

I'm not adding those particular headers so, no. But the three I do add
are, indeed, in the messages I send.

Yes: in messages sended I see these tree headers, but, unlike from
calypso, I don't receive any *return receipt*. Do you have *return
receipt* after sending messages from destination mailserver?
This is what I mean saying *return receipt* (personal data censored)

Sorry, I wasn't really paying attention to the content of the headers,
and what you're trying to achieve, rather just the "how to" aspect of
inserting custom headers.
If you want return receipts for messages you send, you can set that in
Thunderbird's preferences.
Tools - Options - Composition - General - Return Receipts button. Check
the box if you want to always request a Return Receipt for sent
messages. Set other options as desired.
However, you should know that return receipts are at the discretion of
the recipient. For instance, my email client is set to /never/ send
return receipts when they are requested.
If this isn't what you're trying to achieve, please let us know in
detail what you are trying to make happen.
