Subject: bug in gnus-summary-reparent-thread ?
Date: 24 Apr 2000 09:45:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <82r9bvblsb.fsf@atbsd.netpliance.net> (raw)


The function gnus-summary-reparent-thread:

> `gnus-summary-reparent-thread' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
>   -- loaded from "gnus-sum"
> (gnus-summary-reparent-thread)
> 
> Documentation:
> Make the current article child of the marked (or previous) article.
> 
> Note that the re-threading will only work if `gnus-thread-ignore-subject'
> is non-nil or the Subject: of both articles are the same.

modifies the "References:" header of the message being reparented.  The
problem is that the search for the header is not terminated at the end
of the message headers.

So,
    IF
        (1) if the message being reparented does not already have
            a "References:" header, and
        (2) the message body has text that looks like a "References:"
            header, 
    THEN
        the function modifies the "References:" line in the message body!

For example, the following line looks like a message header.  Reparent
this message and you will notice that the following line will be
modified!
