To be able to properly thread messages from personal data (i.e. “Export your data” / “Request archive”), the posts in created archive should include discourse post ID, not just URL.
I.e.
- when you subscribe by e-mail for messages, they will containt both post id (i.e. in a header like
Message-ID: discourse/post/1192559@community.openstreetmap.org (which is used for threading via `References:` and `In-Reply-To:` headers in such emails;as well as a topic/message URL (e.g.https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/deprecate-leisure-swing-used-6-times-worldwide/140407/20 ) - however used data export contains only topic/messages URL, thus preventing implementing threading.
I would thus request that such “post id” (i.e. value that is being put in `Message-ID:` in e-mails coming from Discourse) is also included in user archive export (in addition to URL which is already there).
That is needed so exported user data can actually be reused properly by implementing proper threading of the exported messages (see e.g. See e.g. Export own messages to MBOX format? )
