Expected Behavior

People shouldn’t be able to set a custom_header with an accent, which makes Sympa crash.

Current Behavior

People can set a custom_header with an accent, which makes Sympa crash.

Possible Solution

We could set a pattern attribute to the input field, like ^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$, or set a similar validation in the backend.

Context

A user has set X-Expéditeur as custom_header, which made sympa_msg crash, preventing to keep processing other mails.

Crash log:

RFC 5322 says (in section 2.2 "Header fields"):

A field name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e.,
characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
colon.

Thus, I suppose, it should not contain accented characters.
