Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Grant Bowman (grantbow) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Archive URL in Email Initial Comment: When an email goes out, it should have the assigned URL in the header. This requires you to know what it is as you send it out which can be tricky. I don't know if Mailman is designed to handle such a feature. I hope it is! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim C. Nasby (decibel) Date: 2006-03-04 15:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=457856 A header would certainly suffice. If you wanted to be really slick I guess you could allow people to add it to the footer sent with every email, though I'd never use that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Oliver Schulze (oliversl) Date: 2006-03-04 15:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=70599 DO you mean a header like X-List-* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bryan Fullerton (fehwalker) Date: 2005-08-23 15:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=660772 Some sort of unique identifier (a hash, or some other permanent ID tag inserted as a header in the .mbox file) for each message would be very useful if the archive is later modified and rebuilt. Currently if a message is removed or added and the archive rebuilt, search engines must reindex the entire archive to get the updated URL for each message based on the new sequence numbers. For large archives this is non-trivial. +1 for a unique and permanent URL per message, +0 for having the message URL included in the message/headers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim C. Nasby (decibel) Date: 2005-08-23 14:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=457856 I agree this would be extremely handy. I'd post the URL to a thread about it on mailman-users, but I'm too lazy to find it in the archive. Of course if there was a URL in the emails... FWIW, Brad Knowles posted that right now this isn't possible to do because the archives use a sequence number. If instead they used a hash of the email, then doing this would be easy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=669056&group_id=103
