           Summary: Detection of extra-headers with dot in it doesn't work
                    in kmail
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: hanno gentoo org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.2.2 
OS:                Linux

When I have an extra-header in a mail that contains a dot, something like:
X-foo.bar: test

kmail doesn't detect this as a header. According to RFC 822, Section 3.2:
     field-name  =  1*<any CHAR, excluding CTLs, SPACE, and ":">

So a dot should be a perfectly valid char in a header-field. I'll attach an image that shows the header view. It's grey, while field names of detected fields are black.
