Re: "Mailinglists and Recipients Line"

In: s/misfin

Threading in traditional e-mail is based on the "References:" header, which contains a list of the "Message-ID:" for each previous message in the chain. It may also use the "In-Reply-To:" header, it has been a long time since I've read the e-mail RFCs.

@jdcard Oh, I did not know that! Thanks for the information. Hm... misfin doesn't have anything for this currently. @lem @lem-two this may be something that needs to be considered.

Mailinglists and Recipients Line — I was thinking of how mailing lists should be implemented in a space-efficient way in misfin, and I think we could do mailinglists without mails becoming very long by using the traditional mail concept of BCC instead of CC. So, when someone sends to a mailinglist, the mailinglist will add their sender line and then send out the gemmail to each recipient, but it *does not* need to put a recipients line, because a reply then would send back to the mailinglist...
