Well, there is other..
For example, if you start editing a mail with thunderbird and put it to
drafts. Then finishing the edit with mutt. This will leak the following
headers:
- user-agent
- x-mailer
- x-mozilla-draft-info
- x-enigmail-draft-status
- x-account-key
- x-identity-key
- fcc
Even when sending mails just from thunderbird, it leaks at least the
user-agent header.
Currently I configured my MTA to remove that headers for outgoing mails.
