Summary: Add threading support for Lotus Notes < 5.0.9

Initial Comment:
Lotus Notes below 6.25 doesnt set the 'In-Reply-To' or
'References' header. but it sets 'Orig' and 'REF' headers.

Mailman should be able to process 'Orig' and 'REF'
headers if 'In-Reply-To' is not set for Lotus Notes.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this..?

Thanks

Hi tkikuchi,

I've attached a patch for CookHeaders.py to solve the
threading issue with Lotus Notes < 6.00.

How does this work:
----------------------
1) For each incoming the Message-Id value of the mail is
added to the 'Subject' line with the following format:

 Subject: Testing [<09238-343430 at testing.com>]

2) If the subject line has a message-id value, the value is
grabbed and will be added to a new "In-Reply-To' header with
that value.

Because we have a In-Reply-To header with the value of old
message-id, we need not worry about threading.

Thanks
-Shobhan

Sorry but I have no Notes users around. So, this is low
priority.  I suggest you upload relevant message header
example in case some one is interested.

Thanks tkikuchi,

Any idea whats the alternative to thread the mails if $REF
header is not set in the reply mail from Lotus Notes, like 
an autogenerated number be added to the subject line and
check the number in the reply mail and generate a thread
likewise..??

Thanks for your time.
