I've created a list to sum up the current discussion/threads on the mailman
header work.
The list is separated in four sections:
I. CLARIFY
Needs discussion.
II. MODIFY
Needs to be registered with IETF or changes X- name.
III. KEEP
Do not change
VI. DELETE
Remove from MM3 code
Please cross-check and pickup discussion on the CLARIFY items. Once we are
done I will approach IETF for the headers that need standardizing.
I. CLARIFY
X-List-Received-Date
This only gets added when the message is sent to the archive.
Modify to: List-Archive-Sent
Next Step: Discuss
X-Message-ID-Hash
propose an RFC as an extension of RFC 5064
Modify to: unclear
Next Step: Discuss
X-Mailman-Version
The version of Mailman that sent the message. It can lose the X-
prefix.
Modify to: List-Agent, Mediator
Next Step: Discuss
X-Mailman-Approved-At
lose the X-prefix
Modify to: List-Approved-Date
Next Step: Create RFC or Extend RFC 2369?
II. MODIFY
X-Mailer
Only used when Mailman originates messages such as autoresponses.
Modify to: User-Agent
Next Step: Change code
X-Topics
This contains a list of all the topic names that matched the message.
Are there any other MLMs that support topics in a way that would make
that
header generally useful?
Modify to: Tag
Next Step: Create RFC
X-Mailman-Rule-Hits
They could certainly lose the X- prefix.
Modify to: Mailman-Rule-Hits
Next Step: Create RFC
X-Mailman-Rule-Misses
They could certainly lose the X- prefix.
Modify to: Mailman-Rule-Misses
Next Step: Create RFC
X-Content-Filtered-By
I think this should be renamed to (X-)Mailman-Content-Filter.
Modify to: Mailman-Content-Filter
Next Step: Create RFC
III. KEEP
X-Peer
X-MailFrom
X-RcptTo
Ignore this, it's used in the test suite only.
Next Step: Ignore
X-Originally-To
Probably not worth changing.
Next Step: Ignore
X-Original-CC
X-Original-Content-Transfer-Encoding
X-MIME-Version
Ignore these.
Next Step: Ignore
X-Ack
X-No-Ack
These should keep the X- prefix.
Next Step: Ignore
X-Approve
X-Approved
need to keep the above two for backward compatibility
Next Step: Ignore
VI. DELETE
X-Mailman-Copy
It can either be removed or lose the X- prefix.
Next Step: Remove from code
X-BeenThere
legacy
Next Step: Remove from code
X-Archive
X-No-Archive
deprecated
Next Step: Remove from code
X-List-Administrivia
X-List-Administrivia is just useless and should be removed.
Next Step: Remove from code
