[Bug 270486] [NEW] e-mail without message-ID show up repeatedly

[NIVOL]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I rarely receive automatic generated mail-answers from sender, who do not set a message-ID.
These e-mails show up in my inbox every time I touch the receive button.
I have set my server-setting not to delete mails at my network operator as I want to receive the same mail at another PC too.
All other mails behave normal, i.e. no mails are show more than once even if they are read and/or moved to another folder.

I think the problem is connected to the fact, that the faulty e-mails do
not have a message-ID.

I do understand that Thunderbird need to show a message without ID as there could be such messages from more senders.
 But could the "null" message-ID be combined with the received time-stamp so Thunderbird could reject fetching the same mail repeatedly?

I use Thunderbird version 2.0.0.16 (20080724) on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)
kernel Linux 2.6.24-19
