When dealing with lots of bug mail, it would be nice if the mail got threaded to make it easier to deal with all of the mail from one bug report at a time. Threading generally keys off of either the In-Reply-To or the References header. These reference a Message-Id. 15.50.34 <jeremy> dkl: real threading requires saving message-ids and doing In-Reply-To or References 15.51.23 <jeremy> jlaska: not really, it's just to make it easier to go through 100 bug spam at a time since I'd batch up each bug 15.51.33 <jeremy> dkl: which I'd imagine is a bit prohibitive to actually do 15.52.13 <dkl> jeremy, what if the message id incorporated the bug number somehow? 15.56.28 <jeremy> dkl: I think the message-id is usually assigned by the mta, though -- you might be able to do them yourself, though. something like Message-Id: bug#.mail#@bugzilla.redhat.com and then you could always have References: bug#.1.com in later mails 15.58.45 <jeremy> looking at the sendmail docs, it looks like sendmail won't add a new Message-Id header if one already exists (http://www.busan.edu/~nic/networking/sendmail/ch35_10.htm#SML2-CH-35-SECT-10-19) 16.01.12 <jeremy> so it at least looks theoretically possible -- want me to file a bug? And further investigation, Ximian's bugzilla already does something similar but they just add an "In-Reply-To: <bug-bug#@hostname>" header to all of the mails for a particular bug. This is enough to get clients that are smart enough (most) to recognize that the mails should be grouped and you get a thread out of it. This would be good enough for me and a far simpler solution.
Added to each email: In-Reply-To: bugzilla-%bugid%@redhat.com Let's see if it works.
Followup comment to see if the email threads properly.
Changed to: In-Reply-To: <bugzilla-%bugid%@redhat.com>
