The mailredirect extension for
Mozilla Thunderbird
(version 0.7 and above) and Mozilla Mail client adds ability to redirect one or
more mails to one or more recipients.
Feature of mail redirecting is also known as bouncing.
Extension is an answer for bug #12916
Who wants this extension?
In office environment there is sometimes a need to forward email with original headers to somebody else. If forward or edit as new command is used, headers are very different comparing to original message (other From, Message-Id, Date fields). If you use Mailredirect Extension headers are not changed, so recipient of redirected mail has almost original message. In practice all important headers in redirected message are identical to original one (From, CC, Message-Id, Date).
People who are "sorting" incoming to company emails are the first users
who would like to use Mailredirect Extension.
I think every experienced e-mail user will appreciate
Mailredirect Extension.
If above description is not clear for you, take a look to original one.
How it works:
When redirecting email, body and headers are leaved untouched, so fields like Received:, From:, To: in redirected message are the same as in original one.However redirected mail differs a bit from original one. There is added a few new headers: Resent-From:, Resent-To:, Resent-Date:, Resent-Message-Id: and Resent-User-Agent: which allow to identify redirected mails.
For more details about redirecting feature and discussion about it go to bug #12916 page on bugzilla. You can also take a look at RFC 2822 section 3.6.6.
Upcoming features:
Here is the list of features I'm planning to add:- add mailredirect action to filter rules -- currently I'm unable to implement this feature because of bug #11034
