Description

Microsoft added a way to "react" to emails which is turned into

[Image] liked this message.

No MUA except Microsoft's latest ones displays these properly and they are not providing significant value to an Email-exchange.

I am ambivalent about this PR. Personally I don't like that MS feature. But I am also not a fan of including app specific hacks into DMS.

For me, it would be fine to do such things via user-patches.sh.

Me neither, but if a multi-billion dollar corporation feels like undermining standards, we – as in people invested in keeping the technology open and accessible – should make sure that this does not work with our systems. Google pulled something similar with XMPP and I would find it sad, if Microsoft did it to Email.

We do not have the permission to rebase or merge master to update your branch, you'll need to update your branch again. Conflict would be from a recent PR that updated the CHANGELOG.md.

If the PR here doesn't cause any issues for users (I don't know if it makes sense to expect the feature compatibility with DMS), merging is fine. Otherwise I'd agree with @casperklein and just add a tip in our docs about it with user-patches.sh.

No one in their right mind would want this, so we can probably just drop it.

Due to an oversight, one of the header filters has potentially modified
the message body, leading to broken cryptographic signatures.

Switch to the Message-Id instead of the Content-Type header, which is
usually only present in the global header.
