Bug#914738: painintheapt: Please append subject to XMPP message

2018-11-26 Thread W. Martin Borgert

Thanks for your problem report!

Quoting Gerald Turner :

However newer versions split this information into a separate 'subject'
field, which my XMPP client (Pidgin usually) ignores.  It's also absent
from MUC group messages entirely.


True. I will either remove the subject again or duplicate it in the
message, so that it works well enough with (almost) all XMPP clients.

Cheers

Version: 0.20181120-1~bpo9+1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Since version 0.20180212, in commit¹ 1660b436 which added XMPP pubsub
support, among other things, changed the format of the message sent
directly to XMPP recipients and MUC's.

The older version used to send messages prepended with a string like:

  "1 package update(s) for hostname\n\n"

However newer versions split this information into a separate 'subject'
field, which my XMPP client (Pidgin usually) ignores.  It's also absent
from MUC group messages entirely.

The effect is that I'm no longer able to discern what hosts have which
updates.
