Yes, sigh, I know, again. 1.7 breaks the workaround we had for Mac Mail threading, namely always including “Re:” at the start of the subject Setting for email subject Re: [%{site_name}] %{optional_pm}%{topic_title} Unfortunately, Discourse 1.7 sensibly does not include an “In-Reply-To” on the fir…

The logic was flawed… Hopefully I got it right this time :blush: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/82555ca7612e497df31f9f4fc6969049a9887988 @peternlewis , can you let me know if it works for you?

I believe in previous dicussions it was established that yes, it uses the dumb Re: text presence in the title above all else. It is deeply and profoundly dumb, but it is the status quo for Mac mail, unfortunately.

I thought that the point of this topic was making the Re: always there wasn’t working anymore?

Yup, that’s what I’ll test and fix if needed.

OK, let me try to be more clear on what I was and am seeing. The only way I have found to get Mac Mail to thread Discourse properly is: Subject always starts with “Re:” (even the first message). Mail messages have an “In-Reply-To” header (even the first message). Discourse 1.7 “fixes” the second…

I am not a Mac user and opposed to the idea to break Discourse in order to help those that use a broken Mail app. “Re” has a meaning and if you just use it always, it does not have any meaning anymore. I suggest to push Apple to fix their software or use other software.

[imagem] rriemann: I am not a Mac user and opposed to the idea to break Discourse in order to help those that use a broken Mail app. No worries. I’m not planning on breaking anything :wink: Just making sure overriding the email subject works.

I did not suggest breaking Discourse. Discourse already supports configurable subjects, and thus has no problem with the hack to always include the “Re:” instead of optionally including the “Re”. I’m very glad that not everyone has to care about having a large number of Mac Mail readers, and it mu…

I’ll make some tests (and fix if needed) to ensure the title doesn’t change.
