What should be the value of 'Message-ID for original patch' ?
the URL:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-09/msg01837.php
or the ID: aanlktinw0hl+jqmrtwxc9y2tqhcfhfgfekxyyfygv...@mail.gmail.com
The latter.
Could this perhaps be made clearer on the page, perhaps with an example? It
confused me recently too.
Can you suggest something more specific?
Well, it could say something like:
The Message-ID can be found in the headers of the relevant email to the
pgsql-hackers mailing list, and also in the mailing list archives at
http://archives.postgresql.org. It looks something like this (the format
varies somewhat depending on the sender's Mail User Agent):
aanlktinw0hl+jqmrtwxc9y2tqhcfhfgfekxyyfygv...@mail.gmail.com
That would certainly have given me, and I suspect Gurjeet, enough clue.
Where on the page would you suggest that we put that text?
Following "Enter your comments below. If you wish your comment to
reference a message from the mailing list archives, enter the message ID
into the space provided." The point is that because the app nicely turns
the Message-id into a URL that links to the archives, it's not entirely
clear whether the user needs to enter the whole URL or not.
Another way to handle this might be to extract it from an http URL if
given one.
It's a minor nit - it didn't seem worth raising at the time, and I only
commented when I saw that someone else had the same small confusion I
had had.
cheers
