Hi all, I've just signed up to the list, but have been using status.net via identi.ca for a year or so. I wrote my first plugin last month - http://davehall.com.au/blog/dave/2010/02/20/group-redent-plugin-statusnet-identica Now I feel like I am ready to contribute something back to the core, even though there is a fair bit of self interest in the contribution.
I would like to see status.net (and identi.ca) support X mail headers for messages sent from the service. I would propose the following headers X-StatusNet-Domain: <site-fqdn> X-StatusNet-TargetUser: <nickname> X-StatusNet-SourceUser: <nickname> X-StatusNet-MessageType: (message|subscribe|nudge|fave|mention) This would allow for easy mail filtering of status.net messages. I'm happy to change any of the above if people think that there is a better way of doing it, I just this kept it pretty simple. While looking through the code I noticed that the function mail_to_user() (lib/mail.php 141 in my current dev env) would need to be modified to allow the adding of headers to messages when the function is called. I would propose that instead of the 4th argument being $headers = array, that $address = null becomes the forth argument and $headers is inserted as the 3rd, like so: function mail_to_user(&$user, $subject, $body, $headers = array(),$address=null) I am proposing this as only 2 functions call this method using the address argument, so they can be easily patched, yet 5 functions will be calling the function with the headers argument. Think the most common uses should involve the simplest calls. I'd like some feedback on this before starting to hack on it.
