Hi!
Since I'm new on this low-volume mailing list, let me introduce myself
first: My name is Marc Mutz and I am a student of Physics at Bielefeld
University, Germany. Till lately I hacked a bit at the Linux kernel's
cryptoapi support (www.kerneli.org) and have written the corresponding
HOWTO (Encryptionhowto.sf.net). I'm currently working on a new core for
the message handling of KMail, the KDE mail reader (www.kde.org).
Here's my problem with RFC 2822:
I've run into the question whether to follow the rule:
1. (e.g.) copy the contents of parent's "Message-ID", "In-Reply-To" and
"References" to the child's "References" (and similar)
- - -or-
2. obs-* MUST not be generated by conformant mailers.
Suppose I reply to a message whose Message-ID field has a left id that
conforms to obs-left-id, but not left-id. How should I copy the msg-id
then? Strip the non-comforming parts and risk to break older mailers'
threading or copy everything from the "<" through to the ">" verbatim
from the parent, risking to thus create a message in violation of
rfc2822?
Thanks,
Marc
