This comes up, btw, not during initial connection, but if the connection goes away during a gate_news run, like the daemon on the other end dies, or the news server reboots, etc. You get an IOerror on the mailman side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: e-mail<->usenet gateway Reply-To header (PR#303) Initial Comment: Jitterbug-Id: 303 Submitted-By: orion(a)tribble.dyndns.org Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 18:54:02 -0400 (EDT) Version: 2.0beta4 OS: Debian linux potato I'm running a plain e-mail<->usenet gateway. When someone replies to a usenet post through the list, his e-mail client sets an In-Reply-To: header instead of a Reply-To: header. This causes newsreaders to improperly thread messages. I inserted the following bit into Mailman/Handlers/ToUsenet.py at around line 82: # if the message is a reply to a previous post, change the header so # that newsreaders can thread it properly if msg.getheader('in-reply-to'): msg.headers.append('References: %s\n' % msg.getheader('in-reply-to')) del msg['in-reply-to'] I'm happy to say that this solved the problem. (before you laugh at me, take note that I never looked at python before.) ==================================================================== Audit trail: None ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-12-24 00:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Sigh. Very doubtful I'll get to look at the threading issues before MM2.1 final. I'll address this again after the release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-23 18:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Changing the group to 2.1 beta because I want to look at threading issues for gated messages before 2.1 final is released. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Giovanni Lopedote (giuans) Date: 2002-05-01 08:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=531451 What a coincidence! I had the same problem and I looked into the code, then modified it to work properly. The coincidence is that my patch is *identical* to yours. So, for sure it works :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2000-09-27 17:00 Message: RFC 2076 says nothing about using In-Reply-To for news, so it might not be a bad idea to copy In-Reply-To to References when gating a message from mail to news. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2000-09-19 12:48 Message: This sounds like the email client in question is broken. Mine for example, correctly inserts References: headers and the news readers properly thread the messages. I'm not inclined to cater to broken email or news clients. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=214205&group_i…

Log file entries look like this: Oct 10 18:43:43 2002 (31168) eventmasters: pending XXXXXX.swfla.rr.com But the admin db page for the list shows no outstanding issues. I have verified that there was an actual subscription request behind this log entry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

It's a real drag, too. :( Please let me know if you need more debug info. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Dadgar (mdadgar) Date: 2002-11-22 01:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=598228 Unfortunately, it's still occurring under 2.1b4. I'll check it under 2.1b5 as soon as the patches for htdig integration are released, as I need those to implement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-10-22 10:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm going to defer this one until 2.1b4 goes out. I've fixed some related bugs in cvs, so hopefully this will be fixed in the new version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Dadgar (mdadgar) Date: 2002-10-20 13:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=598228 Sorry - I'm running 2.1b3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

And this is false assumption ;-) For testing purposes my defaults are black bg color and yellow text. And since admin pages sets bg to white it now exposes yellow fonts on white background here. Kinda unreadable. Solution -> fix template/css/whatever to set up text color to black. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

(I understand there is no redirect.) This affects (cripples) relative paths, because http://host/mailman/private/name is the same page as http:// host/mailman/private/name/, but is different in reference to relative paths. The relative location of a month would be `href="name/2002-November/subject.html"' for the former, but `href="2002-November/subject.html"' for the latter. I suspect that the "private" URL is rarely entered by hand anyway, but FYI. /mailman/private/name/2002-November/ subject.html is OK, as far as I know. 2.1b4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

RFC2822 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html) clearly allows it in the local-part (Section 3.4.1) as a dot-atom.
