Subject: feature request: work around b0rked Pegasus Mail headers
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:23:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3slm59we9.fsf@merlin.emma.line.org> (raw)
Greetings,
Pegasus Mail (a popular Window$ mail software) has, among others, for a
long time up to and including the current 4.31 version, generated
improper headers on replies; replying to a message with (header #1)
Message-ID: <foo@example.org>
References: <bar@example.org>
It would generate (header #2):
Message-ID: <new@example.org>
References: <bar@example.org>
In-Reply-To: <foo@example.org>
Where the direct reference was missing from References.
This causes Gnus to attach Pegasus Mail replies too early in the threads
(of, for instance, mailing lists).
May I suggest to change Gnus in a way that it checks if the In-Reply-To
ID is present in References: and if it's not, internally treat header #2
as though it had contained References: <bar@example.org> <foo@example.org>
to ensure proper threading?
Thanks,
--
Matthias Andree
