Hi!
I'm running a mailing list with several webmail client users who chose
to receive digests. How should they properly send replies, so they get
in the proper thread?
Moderator of mailman-users@python.org suggested me to write a proper
Subject:
People can reply to the digest and just change the Subject: and edit
out the irrelevant quotes;
But when I tried simulating this behaviour by writing to
<mylistaddress>@<mylistdomain> with Subject: being "Re: [<my list name>]
<The thread I wanted to reply to>", I ended up creating a new thread.
This probably was a mistake, and Mailman is able to determine which
thread to put reply to by combination of Subject: and In-Reply-To:
headers, but I am not completely sure.
Also another user replied to the digest she received without changing
the Subject: (which was also a mistake), and this also caused creating a
new thread.
Can somebody please point me at the logic which Mailman uses to
determine the target thread of a given message? Does it only look for
In-Reply-To: header, or it uses some heuristics which can be used by
digested webmail users?
Best regards,
Ivan.
