--- Comment #6 from eemantsal <infmtk at openaliasbox.org> ---
I was yesterday having a look to all those options and thought that perhaps
this user Message-ID issue was related to this Headers tab you mention, but I
didn't understand what a "suffix" could be -of course I know what it means in
lingüistics, but remember that most of us aren't informatics nor are really
accustomed to informatic terminology- and didn't pay much attention to it. Now
I see that effectively that was the key. Thank you.
Nevertheless, probably a little tooltip reading something like «This is the
identifier that will be shown in the Message-ID header» when hovering the
pointer would sensitively improve the user friendliness.
Also, probably a suffix, as common and widespread as possible, should be preset
by default, so the average user doesn't have to search on the Internet how to
do it. Don't you agree?

Anyway, then there's only the user agent leak. All in all Kmail is not such a
"blabbermouth", hehe, but see how an average user like me has had to ask to
you, developers and try a couple of things that most users aren't willing to
try. I sincerely believe this is way afar from user friendly. If you allow me
the suggestions, please add a default preset, and consider an option to see
truly sent headers, not excluding the actual option to see all that extra info
that Laurent said in comment 4, but adding one more perhaps in the View/Headers
menu, «Real headers», or whatever you think is more descriptive and accurate.

Again, all this surely sounds obvious and silly to you, but, once again,
remember that the majority of users don't know/want to have to read and write
in forums nor fiddle and dig amoung not so clear options, tabs, menues, etc. A
couple of simple things would make users' life way easier.


Regards, and I think that once the user agent issue is solved this bug report
can be closed.
