Describe the issue

When sending email with this extension installed, spam headers are being injected into my outgoing emails. I installed and uninstalled it several times from the link at the official Safari extension store, and the headers being added only when this extension is installed was a consistent behavior.

I don't have any technical followup (I just did user-level testing, not packet checking, etc), but thought you should know.

I'm not the maintainer but when you say

spam headers are being injected into my outgoing emails.

I don't think there's enough information here to meaningfully understand the issue.

It's just a browser extension, I'm almost 100% certain that email headers from a web email client would be generated server side, so I don't think there would be a way for a browser extension to influence them. It's possible that your email provider is using a bot detection script on the client side which is being blocked, and as a result they are adding spam headers to your emails.
