Would you like to adjust the patch subject?

I propose to reconsider this interpretation of the source code here.
How do you think about to move the mentioned statement into an else branch
at the end?

You mean, do I want to contribute to fixing your mailer?

No, not really. :)

for the desired support of the field “In-Reply-To” in mailto links
(according to the public inbox communication interface).
