Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1.1
Severity: minor
Some broken mail processing software (I'm thinking particularly of
crm114 here, though other things could do the same) when processing
e-mail that contains a Message-ID header so that it also contains a
Message-Id header. mutt, presumably in order to improve
interoperability, will accept either spelling of the header name and
appears to accept the last one.
Unfortunately in the case of crm114 what it's doing is trying to add a
comment to the Message-ID; what it actually ends up doing is creating a
Message-Id field consisting only of a comment. This means that mutt
winds up thinking there is no Message-ID at all, breaking threading. It
would help matters if mutt were to ignore empty Message-I[dD] headers
without assuming they were the only instance of that heaeder.
Obviously, the problematic messages broken and the software generating
them needs to be fixed: this is just a suggestion for an
interoperability enhancement.
