=== Displaying the header ===


Try [http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/ Mnenhy] to show the Jabber-IDs in email messages that people send you!
The preference <code>mailnews.headers.extraExpandedHeaders</code> is a list of '''space'''-delimited additional headers to be shown in the header section of the message pane. To show the <code>Jabber-ID</code> header on messages, just add <code>Jabber-ID</code> to this preference.
