I didn't expect that -- it's great though that Outlook can finally do this! > but git patch mails are still in one-by-one style, not grouped. Because quite a few of the recent emails have not been sent with "threading enabled" (that is, when the "In-Reply-To:" header of all of the emails 01, 02, 03, ... N identify the "Message-Id:" header of the blurb, ie. email 00). Example for good threading: * Subject: [edk2] [Patch V3 00/16] Add pure UEFI Boot Manager Message-Id: <[email protected]> <-----+-+ | | * Subject: [edk2] [Patch V3 01/16] Copy PCD from IntelFrameworkModulePkg | | to MdePkg and MdeModulePkg | | In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> -----+ | | * Subject: [edk2] [Patch V3 02/16] IntelFrameworkModulePkg: Change | BdsDxe | In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> -------+ * ... (The "References:" header is similar to "In-Reply-To:", but it is a list of Message-Ids: it is not just a direct link to the replied-to message, but usually a list of all message IDs that are on the path from the thread starter to the specific message. "References:" is useful when some of the intermediate messages are not available to a recipient, because the usually complete list in "References:" will still allow the mailer client to display the message under the most specific available node.) In any case, for threading to work, both sender and recipient need to support it. Two git utilities can set both "References:" and "In-Reply-To:" automatically: - When using "git send-email" for sending a set of messages together. Most git users rely on this. The header values are generated on the fly. - When using "git format-patch --thread", the generated headers will be saved in the formatted patch emails. If I recall correctly, TortoiseGit has no support yet for sending emails like this; that is the issue that should be fixed (by the TortoiseGit developers) as soon as possible. (I believe a number of edk2 developers would like to use / are using TortoiseGit.) ... Independently, we should finally do something about the mailing list software setting the Reply-To field. It's *really* broken. http://david.woodhou.se/reply-to-list.html http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html Thanks Laszlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/edk2-devel
