bug#41906: [mumi] Raw mailbox download not usable with mutt
Commit 0a90eeda9b5e12a2f83e3917c46fa539f308d0c8 fixes this. Debbugs apparently stores the raw email with the first two lines swapped. I just swap the two lines back. The output from mumi’s /raw endpoint now only differs in trailing white space. -- Ricardo

E.g., the page with your report https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38715#28 has a link https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?mbox=yes;msg=28;bug=38715 which one can save-as, resulting in file bug_38715_message_28.mbox which mutt -f bug_38715_message_28.mbox will show normally. But I don't, e.g., know how to get all the debbugs guix bug reports for e.g. December the way I can for the regular mailing list archives -- does mumi do that? -- e.g. like for bug-guix at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/bug-guix/ where you can wget -c https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/bug-guix/2020-12 resulting in an mbx file 2020-12 which mutt -Rf 2020-12 will open for you (I use -R for read-only) The '-c' wget option tells wget just to download the new appended emails if you already have the 2020-12 file in your current directory, so that's economical :) I follow half a dozen or so gnu mail lists that I don't subscribe to, and wget -c works fine on all of them. The -MM format seems to be generated like "$(date '+%Y-%m')" so it's easy to script urls for wget. It might be nice for debbugs to synthesize cgi-equivalents to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/bug-guix/2020-12 for lists that want it. Maybe by a debbugs name like https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/debbugs-guix/2020-12 and similarly for other bug- ? Maybe it already exists, but it's not apparently listed at https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/ (though help-debbugs is, but that is a normal mailing list I think :) Sorry if this is not on topic mumi per se, but it is about viewing bug reports using mutt on mbox files :) I don't use mumi, but if it doesn't have clean mbox as an output option, I think it ought to be fixed :) -- Regards, Bengt Richter

Hi Ricardo, > Does the equivalent mbox provided by the official Debbugs web interface > work? This endpoint is called “raw” because it returns the plain email > as I got it from Debbugs. It doesn’t seem right for me to manipulate it. yes, debbugs’ mboxes work. For instance look at the first message of https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45062#5 If I diff the output of “mbox” (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;mbox=yes;bug=45062) and https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/45062/raw/0 I get this: ---snip--- --- bug_45062_message_5.mbox2020-12-07 08:25:16.280832753 +0100 +++ 45062-0.mbox2020-12-07 08:25:21.416946627 +0100 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ -From debbugs-submit-boun...@debbugs.gnu.org Sun Dec 06 00:02:51 2020 Received: (at submit) by debbugs.gnu.org; 6 Dec 2020 05:02:51 + +From debbugs-submit-boun...@debbugs.gnu.org Sun Dec 06 00:02:51 2020 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:48662 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) @@ -146,5 +146,3 @@ - - ---snap--- Cheers, Lars -- Lars-Dominik Braun Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter/Research Associate www.leibniz-psychology.org ZPID - Leibniz-Institut für Psychologie / ZPID - Leibniz Institute for Psychology Universitätsring 15 D-54296 Trier - Germany Tel.: +49–651–201-4964 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Does the equivalent mbox provided by the official Debbugs web interface work? This endpoint is called “raw” because it returns the plain email as I got it from Debbugs.

Hi Ricardo, currently mailbox files generated by mumi’s /raw/ endpoint are not usable with mutt, because the first line contains a “Received:” header and thus does not start with the mandated “From …” banner. Lars signature.asc Description: PGP signature
