No, I'm convinced. Apologies for taking so long to respond. The code in the Mailman 3.0 branch has been updated to use only the Message-ID. I still think the base32-encoded sha1 hash is a good user-friendlier option but of course and that archivers should accept either. One question: should the angle brackets on the Message-ID be part of the hash or not? I think they should, or IOW, the entire value of the Message-ID header is taken as the hash, though they should be stripped off if using the Message-ID in any kind of archive query. I'm open to suggestions though... comments? > (It can still be a base32 encoded SHA hash it to make it less user > hostile.) > http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Stable+URLs The wiki is down at the moment (I have a issue opened on the support tracker about that). When it comes up, I'll update the page. Thanks everyone for a very good thread, and especially for Jeff for doing the analysis on real data. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHAwLI2YZpQepbvXERArC8AJ9xJAtqHQPwipUnZuMOvkQ2yxWa0QCbBf+D KnPkuOJEFTZD38BfupCLvk0= =/kr1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
