There is a trade-off here. Let's call the two Permalink designs O and OL, where: O = opaque hash created from the message source *plus* the LID (if it differs from the LID in the headers) OL = opaque hash created from the message source only. If the LID differs from the headers, it is appended to the opaque hash. Style O ------- Advantage: fixed Permalink style Disadvantage: not feasible to regenerate Permalinks without a separate database to relate the LIDs to the messages Style OL ------- Advantage: can regenerate Permalinks from just the mail sources Disadvantage: Permalinks are longer for some mails Neither is perfect; seems to me that the appropriate choice will depend on the installation. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
