> I suggested that upthread... Don't like the hashing idea because that would be useless for searching, eg, one's own local mail archives. Also, if you are looking at a message in your own mail store when composing a commit message (which I generally am, don't know about other committers) how are you going to get the hash? I think it's important to have the message-ID in cleartext. AFAICS the proposal here is to go from, eg, Discussion: <caf4au4w6rrh_j1bvvhzposrihcog7sgj3lsx0ty8zdwhht8...@mail.gmail.com> to Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/caf4au4w6rrh_j1bvvhzposrihcog7sgj3lsx0ty8zdwhht8...@mail.gmail.com which is annoying, but the line was overlength already. Maybe we could drop the Discussion: prefix and just write a URL: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/caf4au4w6rrh_j1bvvhzposrihcog7sgj3lsx0ty8zdwhht8...@mail.gmail.com That's still overlength for gmail message-IDs, though, so I'm not sure it's worth losing the label for. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
