Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Cause: "Form" string in emails body was not escaped properly.
Consequence: Message containing "Form" string in the beginning of line was splitted and showed in web archive as two or more messages.
Fix: "From" string is now escaped.
Result: Message like that is now showed in web archive as single email.
When sent a email with:
"
From whatever"
(ie, a blank line and a line that starts with "From ", mailman's archiver seems to correctly escape the
From in the mbox file to ">From " but it doesn't seem to handle showing that correctly in the date or thread lists for the mailing list archive.
Example:
https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/aeolus-devel/2012-June/010794.htmlhttps://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/aeolus-devel/2012-June/010795.html
That is one email, and there's one line between those two archive entries.
>From what I saw of the original conversation, we're looking to build our community and evangelize Aeolus' strengths.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
