git-send-email: threaded view issue with Thunderbird

[moreau francis]

Hi,

Sometimes, actually most of the time, git-send-email _seems_ to not
work properly with Thunderbird: for example if I send a patchset made
up by 4 single patchs, then Thunderbird show me this patchset 'broken'
that is [PATCH 2/4] is not shown as a reply to [PATCH 1/4].

For example I can see:

[PATCH 0/4]
       [PATCH 1/4]
[PATCH 2/4]
[PATCH 3/4]
       [PATCH 4/4]

instead of

[PATCH 0/4]
       [PATCH 1/4]
          [PATCH 2/4]
             [PATCH 3/4]
                [PATCH 4/4]

The strange thing is that all email headers are correct.

I recently notice that someone has sent a patchset using
git-send-email and I can see it 'broken' as well. The subject of the
first email of the set is

[PATCH 0/7] C cleanup series, mostly nasty shadowing

Does anybody have an idea on what's going wrong ?

thanks,

Francis

here the problem is that I manually sent the 0/7 as the initial mail, 
and passed its msg-id into --in-reply-to switch of git-send-email. but 
I did not specified the brackets, and those were not added, meaning 
that the reference was bad formatted.

I don't know where your other problems come from. What I know for sure 
is that I will write my own git-send-email version, with less perl, and 
less broken features, because the two first try I had with 
git-send-email were quite inconclusive, doing all *but* what I wanted 
them to do.

if it's not too crude, I will consider submit it to the list as a 
possible replacement/competitor for git-send-email.

well the problem occur with your [PATCH 2/7] and [PATCH 3/7] too. I don't
think you manually setup the headers for these patches, do you ?

that would be great since I don't speak perl.

Please not a revolution but an evolution if possible...

Then this is a wrong list perhaps ;-).

I see that 7+1 series as "broken"; #1 is not a reply to #0.
All others are reply to the previous one which is fine:

Because #1 has a bogus In-Reply-To field, #0 and #1 would be
shown at the same level, but #2-7 would be staggered below #1.

yeah, that's why I wrote "git-send-email _seems_ to not work properly 
with Thunderbird". I actually think it's a Thunderbird issue, I'll
contact them hoping they won't tell me it's a git issue ;)

thanks
