The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["McLaren, Terry" <address@concealed>]

Greetings – In an effort to help clarify who sent a message to a list,  I created a custom header to identify the originating sender.    While the header.from variable works, it’s not as concise as some user expect especially when it’s rewritten for DMARC.   I found the mail header ‘x-original-from’ does change based on who sent or replied to a message but it appears this tag is ignored or not supported.      I referenced the syntax and variables defined at:   https://www.sympa.community/manual/customize/message-personalization.html  and I saw 'x-original-to' was supported so I tweaked it to ‘x-original-from’.    See the results below.

 

1. Message Header content:

--------------------Message From -----------------------------------
[% headers.from %]
----------------- X-Original-From ---------------
[% headers.item('x-original-from') %]
----------------- x-original-to------------------
[% headers.item('x-original-to') %]
--------------------Original message below -------------------------

 

2. Headers.from appears to populate in the body of the message but the other tags do not.  

--------------------Message From -----------------------------------
"header-test Mailing List" (on behalf of address@concealed) <address@concealed>
----------------- X-Original-From ---------------

----------------- x-original-to------------------

--------------------Original message below -------------------------

Q:   Is there a way to pull header tags into a message header/footer from the email headers?    It looks like [% headers.item('x-original-from') %] could be a general solution.  If not, I’ll open an enhancement and/or bug request.

 

Thank you,
