[ADMIN] Broken archive 'View Full Thread'

Author: Ted Roche

Ed:

Seeing some funny misbehavior with the archive, or perhaps people are

reposting old message threads.

When I look at message https://leafe.com/archives/msg/512987 that Mike

posted yesterday, and select the link for "View Entire Thread" the link is:

https://leafe.com/archives/full_thread/512987

But the resulting message is from 2004! That's a long thread, even for us!

Well, the way a “thread” is determined is by the subject line. That’s because email clients back when that code was written were pretty bad about maintaining threading via the Message-ID and In-Reply-To: headers. So I wrote something that just searches on the subject, with any “Re:”,"[NF]”, or “[OT]” prefixes ignored. So the message with the subject “Your laptop” matches the 2004 message with the subject "RE: [NF] Insure your laptop”, as well as the message from 2006 with the subject "RE: [OT] Just because you can take your laptop into the bathroom..."

It is what it is.

Oh, that's funny. I have been using the archive to refresh my memory since

you posted it, and had never picked up on that before.

Well, don't go changing it now!

Thanks, Ed!

(OK, guys, from now on, I guess we'll have to start each thread with a

unique subject line. Maybe we should add a GUID?)

Kidding, I'm kidding!
