Actually, no -- this is why I listed a specific X- header (
X-Message-Flag ) rather than simply saying "Hey, would everyone please
turn off their X-headers". This specific X- header is designed to
have
Outlook "flag" a message and display an extra line of text with the
flag
comment above the email.
If it were a specific *Outlook* header, shouldn't it be namespaced?
e.g., X-Outlook-Message-Flag? Might not other email clients operate
differently when they encounter the X-Message-Flag? For example, in
your message, I see an X-MSMail-Priority flag, which I assume is a
Microsoft-specific X-header. (I may very well be interpreting this
wrong: brief googling didn't turn up anything, and I'm not an email
guru.)
Anyway, that's all I have to say on the topic: I suggested
alternatives, and as it's not a problem for me — and I don't believe
my emails include X-Message-Flag headers so I'm not contributing to
your problem — hope you find a solution that works for you.
