also sprach Carl Worth cwo...@cworth.org [2010.01.15.1108 +1300]: Reading is one thing. Information storage and organisation is another. After a message is delivered (and read) to my mailbox, it's really mine and I can (and should be able) to affix it and integrate it into my organisational scheme any way I want, don't you think? A fair point. I don't see this being something I'm going to spend any time implementing. I just wouldn't use the functionality myself. But I would be happy to integrate patches if someone came up with some. Maybe I should try to persuade you in person. Just today I referenced a discussion I had with a client's ISP, which was done via a web-based support system (custhelp.com). They send you e-mail for every post you or they make to the thread, but those e-mails do not reference each other. Fortunately, I stitched them together and when I searched for the correspondence in my mailstore, I had the entire thread available to me, which was handy (thanks to mutt's useful thread handling abilities). -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ this week dragged past me so slowly; the days fell on their knees... -- david bowie spamtraps: madduck.bo...@madduck.net digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/) ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

The whole point of threading is to make it faster to process and read messages. But manual operations like joining and splitting threads seem like the user just doing more work, and that *after* having read the messages. So that seems mostly backwards to me. By the way, Outlook Exchange suck (or at least some versions do), and don't seem to generate In-Reply-To and References: headers. Just got a mail which prompted me to write this mail. I'd really like to be able to join messages in a case like this. -- - Marten ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

There's certainly nothing like that in notmuch currently. Sup had user-level functionality in the interface for stitching messages into a single thread, and I definitely think that that doesn't make any sense. I have a bug tracking system that doesn't give me emails that thread naturally in notmuch. I've seen similar things. Bugzilla emails at least all group into a single thread in notmuch, but don't get nested correctly at all, and that's really annoying. I wouldn't mind writing a filter that could help identify a thread id which should apply to a message, and suggest that to notmuch. I think the right answer here is to fix the input that notmuch is getting. Just ensure that each message has a proper In-Reply-To header and all should be fine. If you can't fix the bug-tracking system to emit proper email, can you apply your filter and rewrite the message as part of delivery (before notmuch sees it)? -Carl pgp2IZfAgQCpG.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

On a related note, what about communicating with people who press reply on an existing message, change the subject and start a new mail thread. Most mail clients will still insert the In-Reply-To header, which in this case is just wrong. Ofcourse, it's their fault, but one can't educate the entire world. Is there anything like mutt has, to break a thread at the current message? -- - Marten ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
