Subject: bug#45631: 27.1; regression: message-forward-ignored-headers no longer applies when forwarding as MIME
Date: Sun, 03 Jan 2021 12:12:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mtxq7xmd.fsf@fifthhorseman.net> (raw)

I've been using emacs as my MUA for years.
When I upgraded from emacs 26.3 to emacs 27.1, i noticed that
message-forward-as-mime now defaults to nil. I prefer to forward as
MIME generally, so i set it back to t.
The only downside to forwarding as MIME is the inclusion of some headers
that the received message has accumulated in transit, which might have
privacy-sensitive implications. I've been using
message-forward-ignored-headers for a while now to trim out headers like
Received and Delivered-To when forwarding.
But as of 27.1, message-forward-ignored-headers doesn't work when
forwarding as MIME. indeed, the help text for the variable now says
>> This variable is only consulted when forwarding "normally", not when
>> forwarding as MIME or the like.
But this is a regression from 26.3. I'd expect it to keep working.
Please restore the functionality so that i can automatically strip
privacy-sensitive headers when forwarding.
Thanks,
--dkg
