what does X-Mozilla Status mean?

[Jim]

I noticed that all the headers for my email that I send out contain:

X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00800000

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

They include information such as
* Whether the message is marked read,
* Whether the message is queued for upload,
* Whether the message is starred,
* Whether the message has been replied to,
* ...etc.


If you understand hexadecimal numbers, see
http://www.eyrich-net.org/mozilla/X-Mozilla-Status.html
The right-hand side of X-Mozilla-Status and X-Mozilla-Status2
is the sum (in hexadecimal arithmetic) of the "Value" column
from those rows which apply to the message.

Thanks Ralph and Hartmut. Just was curious.

Ditto. I didn't know this too. :)

Those are not actually in the messages that you send out, only in
the copies that are in your Sent folder.

the copies that are in your Sent folder.

Actually, both messages contain these fields, with different values. I
sent a message from one of my accounts to another, and found:

The copy in my Sent folder had:
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00800000

The copy received in the other account had:
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000

Of course, I could change the first value for each by toggling
read/unread (pressing "M").

Still, those headers are not sent out. Seamonkey and Thunderbird
add the headers to the received copy after downloading it.

If you download the same email with a non-Mozilla email program,
those headers won't be there.

Correct.
The headers are only there in messages that are in folders inside
Seamonkey and Thunderbird, not in messages sent to the outside or
received from the outside.
