Minor Feature Request: Descriptions in List-Id headers

adamengst · Mai 3, 2018, 2:29

One of my readers pointed out that Discourse List-Id headers lack verbal descriptions, which would be helpful (in a small way). The short suggestion is to add descriptions in the form:

List-Id: Sitename | CategoryName <categoryslug.domain.name>

cheers… -Adam

PS: Here’s the message I got, so you can see where the guy is coming from.

Your mailing lists insert the List-Id tag into the mail header, which is nice and expected. However, they insert only the identifier without description. I get

List-ID: <article-comments.talk.tidbits.com>
List-ID: <tidbits-talk.talk.tidbits.com>
List-ID: <site-feedback.talk.tidbits.com>

Other lists include also a verbal description. For example, a few of my actual mailing lists:

List-Id: Macintosh Pascal Mailing List <mac-pascal.lists.sonic.net>
List-Id: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode.lists.runrev.com>
List-Id: MailMate Users <mailmate.lists.freron.com>
List-Id: Discussion for revIgniter <revigniter-livecodejournal.com>
List-ID: Eudora for the Mac <eudora-mac.cartel.listmoms.net>

I can set up my mail program to group the list posts by List-Id identifiers, but descriptions are much easier to see (I mean to click the correct mailing list), hence it would be great if you could have:

List-ID: TidBITS | Article Comments <article-comments.talk.tidbits.com>
List-ID: TidBITS | TidBITS Talk <tidbits-talk.talk.tidbits.com>
List-ID: TidBITS | Site Feedback <site-feedback.talk.tidbits.com>

Looks like a good and easy idea

A minor suggestion, wouldn’t #{parent_category_name} #{topic.category.name} make more sense here?

github.com/discourse/discourse

lib/email/sender.rb

7d223c0e5


      
            @message.header['References']  = [topic_message_id, referenced_post_message_ids].flatten.compact.uniq
          end
          
          # https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2919.txt
          if topic && topic.category && !topic.category.uncategorized?
            list_id = "#{SiteSetting.title} | #{topic.category.name} <#{topic.category.name.downcase.tr(' ', '-')}.#{host}>"
          
            # subcategory case
            if !topic.category.parent_category_id.nil?
              parent_category_name = Category.find_by(id: topic.category.parent_category_id).name
              list_id = "#{SiteSetting.title} | #{topic.category.name} #{parent_category_name} <#{topic.category.name.downcase.tr(' ', '-')}.#{parent_category_name.downcase.tr(' ', '-')}.#{host}>"
            end
          else
            list_id = "#{SiteSetting.title} <#{host}>"
          end
          
          # https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3834.txt
          @message.header['Precedence'] = 'list'
          @message.header['List-ID']    = list_id
          
          if topic

That way emails for (for instance) Development - Mozilla Discourse would be:

Mozilla | Add-ons Development

rather than:

Mozilla | Development Add-ons

You’re right. I blindly copied the order of the List-Id…

Bonjour,

Je relance cette demande de fonctionnalité à cause d’utilisateurs de ma communauté.
Ils souhaitent que l’identifiant de liste contienne plus de détails lorsque les messages proviennent de groupes.

J’ai activé groupes dans le sujet, mais cela ne satisfait pas entièrement mes utilisateurs.

Est-il possible d’ajouter le nom du groupe ; peut-être lorsque groupes dans le sujet est vrai ?
