    Description

      When using the sendMessage call, all details are provided to the sendMessage function, including the To: field (as per the API).
      Looking at the headers, it looks like a rarely-used field ("for") is used instead of the To: field; the result is that the message is sent to the user, but the To: field is blank (so it looks like a group spam email).
      A standard installation of Outlook 2003 will then treat the email as JunkMail, and accordingly removing it from the user's sight into the little-known Junk E-Mail folder.

        • This was last tested in 0.9.840; which sends the to: header correctly.
