The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Al,

This bug was fixed in older versions of Sympa. If you don't want to upgrade your server, you might try to apply this patch: http://sourcesup.cru.fr/scm/viewvc.php/trunk/src/List.pm?root=sympa&r1=4634&r2=4633&pathrev=4634

Regards,

David

P.S. : The right research term was "munging". ;-)

address@concealed">Hello

I'm Al, I'm a web developer based in Edinburgh. I run an Ubuntu Xen VM running Postfix/Dovecot and Sympa. A while back I set up Sympa 5.3.4 (a bit old, I know) as a replacement for Mailman (which was somehow forwarding spam) and so far it all looks good.

There are only a couple of lists at the moment but they both have the same slight bug that I'd like to fix. Every time a user replies to a thread an extra "Re:" appears in the subject line. The list identifier is still at the beginning but the subject keeps getting padded out with more Re:s. A recent message on one of the lists is now "[hacklab] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Keys", bonkers!

I'm sure this is just a simple config setting somewhere but I can't find anything that looks like it'll fix this. I've done some googling this morning but, obviously, searching for "sympa", "subject:" and "re:" returns a lot of garbage! I've had a quick search of this list's archive but didn't find anything that looked promising.

Hopefully someone can give me a clue or a pointer to the right part of the docs.

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Al
