Hi, everyone, Do any of you know of an easy way to organize email into threads? Have any of you integrated a Mailman list and a message board?
I have a message board that I'd like users to be able to post to by email (instead of having to go the web site), and what I'm finding hard is integrating posts that are emailed with those that are submitted from the web site. My first idea was to use Mailman, with the message board based on the threaded archives, but Mailman doesn't actually seem to do a great job of threading, plus I'm afraid I'd need to learn Python (what I'm comfortable with is Perl). My other idea is to do it myself, by using the post number of the post being replied to as the "+detail" part of the reply-to address. The message board script gives each post a post number. If it emails out post 123, for example, with a reply-to address of: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a user replies to that, the sendmail aliases file can pipe it to the message board script: list+*: |path-to-script which can then extract the "123" from the reply-to header and thread it after post 123. It seems to me the easiest way to thread is with the number of the post being replied to, and I can't think of another way to make sure an email reply includes it. What do you all think? I guess the second part is kind of off-topic here, but I hope it's OK to ask.
