In-Reply-To: [10943] in bugs
I used M-x discuss-reply-by-mail to reply to txn [2398] in the testers
meeting (which also happens to be [10938] in the bugs meeting).
Accordingly, the command added the field "In-Reply-To: [2398]", which
worked fine in the testers meeting. Unfortunately, it turns out that
I was (unwittingly) sending the message to at least two other discuss
meetings, bugs and f_l. Here in bugs, it was also threaded as a reply
to txn [2398], which is some random old unrelated txn. The mail
actually bounced from f_l-mtg@nemesis.local, apparently because txn
2398 doesn't exist:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
<<< RCPT To:<f_l-mtg@nemesis.LOCAL>
<<< DATA
550-Can't enter transaction as reply to 2398
550- into meeting /usr/spool/discuss/f_l: No such transaction
550 "|/usr/athena/dsmail -d /usr/spool/discuss/f_l"@NEMESIS.LOCAL... Can't create output
What should have happened:
I understand there's some kind of syntax for the in-reply-to line
where you can specify the meeting. I suppose M-x discuss-reply-by-mail
should use it. Also, it would be nice if dsmail (I guess) were more
forgiving.
