Bug Description
Jitterbug-Id: 303
Submitted-By: <email address hidden>

Version: 2.0beta4
OS: Debian linux potato
I'm running a plain e-mail<->usenet gateway.
When someone replies to a usenet post through the list, his e-mail client
sets
an In-Reply-To: header instead of a Reply-To: header. This causes
newsreaders to
improperly thread messages.
I inserted the following bit into Mailman/
line
82:
# if the message is a reply to a previous post, change the header so
# that newsreaders can thread it properly
if msg.getheader(
msg.getheader(
del msg['in-reply-to']
I'm happy to say that this solved the problem.
(before you laugh at me, take note that I never looked at python before.)

This sounds like the email client in question is broken. Mine for example,
correctly inserts References: headers and the news readers properly thread
the messages. I'm not inclined to cater to broken email or news clients.
