Oh, yes, that's a real bummer. So we'd have to sequentialize processing of incoming messages (if it's not done yet) and handle the message-ids both ways: i.e. recognize when a message comes after its reply and put it in the same bug-id. That could be tricky/risky indeed. > b) I made the decision to require a subject starting with "Re:" for this > to take effect, because sometimes people reply to an old message and > change the subject with the intention of creating a new report. > (I'm pretty sure I've said this before.) > I'm feeling like I should admit defeat on this aspect, since it seems > people just love messing around with the subject header. Is there an easy way to see (in retrospect) whether this "Re:" filtering did the right thing more often than not? > I also added something that makes [patch] equivalent to > Tags:patch Great, tho it doesn't seem to be used much.
