It seems the Chrome -> GMail plugin client isn't obeying the "In-Reply-To"
value provided when you click on the link to reply to a specific
individual. So I apologize if this post creates, once again,
another separate thread for that reason.

I just wanted to acknowledge that it's probably the worst possible hack
I've ever written, and it's a rather cheesy one. But I, as well as the rest
of us, don't have access to fixing the core issue. I don't have my mod
currently working for dedicated servers, so I placed the hack in the
client.dll codebase. Hope that makes sense. For the record, there are other
hacks in HL2:SB which were resolved using detouring and such, however those
are all non-critical fixes. You shouldn't use those if you ever come by
them. Basically anything that patches memory. You'll know it when you see
it, of course.

Additionally, the mod closes debatably "gracefully" due to the entire
application and everything associated with it being terminated in the same
manner as terminating the process from your task manager. It is closing
immediately, but definitely not as intended. There are actually engine
events which seize to take place as a result of simply terminating the
process. For this reason, I absolutely can't stand this solution either.

Anyway, due to Valve's lack of updates on these things, we have to hold
ourselves up and fix what issues we can on our own. I am proud to say that
I've fixed small issues on my own that didn't require terrible kludges and
some of these are issues Valve hasn't gotten around to taking care of, at
the same time it depresses me considering I feel like we're not given any
attention anymore.

Good luck with the rest of your development, and thanks for posting about
this. It makes me feel good that people are still working with Source and
enough to the point where they're encountering these issues as well
(Clearly I don't feel good about the encountering issues part, though.)
