You end up with a line longer than 80 characters with message-IDs generated by either gmail or the bug report form, for instance these examples from recent commits: Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20161128182113.6527.58...@wrigleys.postgresql.org Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+renyUEE29=X01JXdz8_TQvo6n9=2xoebbrnq8rklyr+kj...@mail.gmail.com And those two sources comprise the majority of references these days. Even dropping the Discussion: keyword wouldn't get us to lines that don't wrap. So we might as well go with the canonical form, which I take to be https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/<whatever>. Another convention that apparently needs to be discussed is whether or not to point at a whole thread, as in this example from yesterday: Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/0A3221C70F24FB45833433255569204D1F5EE995@G01JPEXMBYT05/ I'm kind of -1 on that; it's adding 5 characters for not much. 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
