I see Thunderbird 52.8.0 (english user interface, windows 32-bit) adds a Content-Language header (signaling english) to emails I send. I can't find a place in the configuration to remove this header. Is there a configuration option somewhere to change/remove it?

As it is now, it gives out unnecessary and incorrect information as I write emails in several languages. If this can't be changed in the current version, please add the feature in a later version, at least through the configuration editor.

Information Example: Content-Language: en-GB Signals to user that the document is intended for English language speakers. However, it doesn't indicate the document is necessarilly written in English.

If you select a different dictionary (I'm assuming you have different dictionaries installed) and then open Write to compose email in that other language, does the Content-Language header change ?
