I think that reusing the mailman login makes sense here. It can already add additional footer as another MIME part, f.e.: --===============4852037685640868104== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ knot-dns-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nic.cz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/knot-dns-users --===============4852037685640868104==-- That way you won't mangle the original message and yet you can add useful information about the bug. The unfortunate state of MUAs is that some major one (especially the web based or MUAs on phones) doesn't support the extra headers. Also as Ansgar correctly stated, this would help the users comming from maillist archives to be able to get to the bug report quickly. Yes, I am also getting the followups f.e. with only "Logs" word in the mail body, and while it's okish on the Desktop MUA (Gmail Apps), it's very difficult to check the bug from my phone MUA – I have to copy the bugnumber from headers, open the browser, type bugs.debian.org, paste the email address and delete the @bugs.debian.org part. Not very DD-friendly. I might help you to write the code – well, unless the BTS is written in Perl (or Ruby). Ondrej -- Ondřej Surý <[email protected]>
