News -> mail should remove the mailing list tag
Hi
When synchronizing a mailing list and a newsgroup, if a tag is enabled for the mailing list, but disabled for the newsgroup, the tag gets added properly when copying the message to the mailing list. But it doesn't get removed when copying responses back to the newsgroup. For an example of the problem, see this screenshot: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Benoit/projectowners_snap.png I'd be willing to fix this myself, but I never looked at Mailman's code before, so could someone help me with the whole development process. I don't even know what branch I should make my patch on.
Thanks Frederik Vanderstraeten

Frederik,
By 'tag' do you mean the Subject prefix?
It should probably be an option in the gateway to remove this tag on
the way into the news server.

Hi,
Yes, I mean the Subject prefix. There already is an option (if I'm correct) if you want to add it to newsgroup messages or not. I think if you don't want to add it, you probably want to remove it if it's there. Otherwise, the results are really inconsistent, with the tag not being there for the opening post (if it's posted via the newsgroup), not being there for any newsgroup replies, but it's there for mailing list replies, and all replies to those.

I think this option already exists.
Frederik,
Do you have the list's Mail<->News gateways news_prefix_subject_too option set to No?
