Bug ID: 302186 Severity: wishlist Version: unspecified Priority: NOR Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Summary: Wish: Remove or add mail's reference header to change thread grouping of messages Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux Reporter: k...@bhendriks.de Hardware: Debian testing Status: UNCONFIRMED Component: message list Product: kmail2 KMail has the nice feature to aggregate messages by thread. As far as I can see this is mainly done by the "References:" header of the mails. Unfortunately, it happens every now and then that unexperienced mailing list users start a new discussion thread by answering to an existing mail. This inserts a wrong reference to another thread and, of course, KMail appends the offending mail to that thread. Less often -- to my experience -- it happens vice versa, i. e., a user continues a thread without answering, so the correct reference gets lost and KMail shows that message as start of a new thread. It would be nice to have a context menu item to locally correct the broken thread grouping in both cases. The easier one would probably be a menu item "ungroup" which removes the wrong "References:" header and moves the message to be a new thread head. Less important -- but also nice -- would be a "group" menu item which offers to select another message, inserts that as (additional) reference message and moves the message accordingly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose a well populated message list 2. Configure it to be grouped by thread (seems to be standard if not changed) 3. View all headers of a message not at head of thread and see "References:" header Actual Results: "References:" contains one or several message-IDs of messages further up the thread or none if message is head of thread. Expected Results: See details This wish is about my KMail 1.13.7 of my up-to-date Debian Testing installation. Please ignore if KMail2 has already such a feature. The report interface didn't offer to select kmail1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
