JIRA has support to poll an IMAP mailbox for new messages and parse out the message body as a new comment on the relevant issue. Sounds like that apache setup is already doing that for j...@apache.org?
So I wonder if the issue is just replying to messages sent to hbase-dev vs. the individual messages JIRA sends to watchers, etc. Can the listserv be configured to not add the Reply-To when JIRA is the sender? For proper threading, JIRA would need to include a consistent In-Reply-To header for all the messages related to an issue, either storing the Message-ID from the "Created" email or using a predictable format to construct it. Probably possible with the JIRA plugin system, but may require some custom coding. Maybe it would be easier to just tweak the message subject lines so they're handled better by gmail's subject based thread aggregation? Anyone from the infrastructure group or with JIRA admin access able to comment? --gh On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 2:38 AM, Ryan Rawson <ryano...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think gmail is respecting the Reply-To header.
