In-Reply-To header not set?

Support
1

I’m using K9 to reply to mailing lists and just noticed my replies are displayed as separated threads and don’t go to the right thread.

Below is an example link which I click, notice it contains an “in-reply-to” message id:

mailto:~mehdix/rtltest@lists.sr.ht?cc=mx%20%3Cmehdi%40mehdix.org%3E&in-reply-to=D9CD37A1-1828-4548-8DBF-BA58A70A0D77%40mehdix.org&subject=Re%3A%20%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%20%D9%81%DB%8C%DA%86%D8%B1

Apparently K9 does not handle this. Am I correct? Does K9 support In-Reply-To header in general? In no, I’ll work on a patch.

Thanks

K-9 Mail only supports setting a handful of header fields from a mailto: URI. In-Reply-To is currently not among them. But I see no harm in adding support for it.

If you want to submit a patch have a look at MessageCompose.initializeFromMailto(). You’ll also have to modify the MailTo class to add support for In-Reply-To.

K-9 Mail will properly set In-Reply-To and References when replying to a message from inside the app.

Thanks for the quick reply. As soon as my hands touch a keyboard in my free time I’ll send a patch for the in-reply-to (and subject if not already covered).
