Description of problem: See http://canuck.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-May/009761.html. Click on the first link -- the mailto: link. Or allow the mouse to hover over it in your browser or do whatever else you do to see the link target. It's as follows: mailto:linux-mtd%40lists.infradead.org?Subject=Administivia%20--%20mailing%20list%20server%20changes.&In-Reply-To= However, the In-Reply-To: header _should_ have contained the Message-ID of the mail to which you'd be replying. If you look at the mbox archive at http://canuck.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-May.txt it's clear that the Message-ID is preserved by the archival process. It seems to be the code which generates the HTML in the archive which is at fault. This breaks threading when using the web archive to reply to the list. Actually, the Subject line should probably also have 'Re: ' prepended in the mailto: link too, if the subject doesn't already start with 'Re: '. This is mailman-2.1.4-4
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
I had a fix for this once; I thought I'd sent it to the mailman folks. I'll try to dig it out.
Created attachment 137808 [details] Fix
Patch applied to FC-[45] and devel branches. Do we need to do anything special for RHEL5 or will it inherit from devel?
Fix is present also in RHEL-5.
