Sat Jan 08 06:52:56 2011 SILASMONK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

impossible to set Auto-Submitted header as per RFC3834

According to the perldoc of /usr/share/perl5/MIME/Entity.pm there is a list of valid email headers. Auto-Submitted is not among them, but needed for example to send x-arf reports, see: x-arf.org Report forwarded from: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=585031

Can't you use: $ent = MIME::Entity->build('Auto-Submitted:' => 'auto-generated', ...); ? The docs say: To specify a fieldname that’s not in the above list, even one that’s identical to an option below, just give it with a trailing ":", like "My-field:". When in doubt, that always signals a mail field (and it sort of looks like one too). Regards, David.

Hi, I'm rejecting this ticket because (as per my previous reply) it is possible to set any header you like by suffixing the header name with ":" Regards, David.
