Could someone please have a look at an issue I'm having in resubmitting a
patch, trying to get the resubmission email to appear as a reply on an existing
thread? In order to conform to submission guidelines in ffmpeg-devel, I'm using
git format-patch and git send-email, using the --in-reply-to option, but it's
not giving the expected results.
I had started a thread in this mailing list for a patch I've been working on. I
had gotten some comments to my initial submission, worked on addressing them,
and last night I submitted it again. I wanted the resubmission to appear as a
reply on the earlier thread, to preserve that conversation. After configuring
git to use the same email account that I had used for the earlier submissions
and comments, I used the following git command:
git send-email --to=ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org
--in-reply-to="e4d3f14f-ac69-9424-804e-ee5025059...@passwd.hu"
I got the message ID from the following line in the message I wanted to reply
to:
Message-ID:
But when I submitted the patch, it showed up in the list as a reply on a
completely different, unrelated thread.
So I came back and fixed a couple other issues in the patch (I had messed up
the subject line), double-checked that I had copied the Message-ID, and entered
this command (adding angle brackets this time to the ID, just in case that
might matter).
git send-email --to=ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org
--in-reply-to=""
Still, the message went to the same incorrect thread.
Is there possibly something else I need to add to the send-email command to get
it to attach to the older thread?
Thanks,
Allan
