Thread: bug message not CC'ing poster
I just got this email from the bugs list:
[BUGS] BUG #1107: Missing feature: interval <-> numeric quantity conversion
The email had the bugs list as a reply, but no entry for the original
poster. I had to copy his email address from the email body into the
CC. Is the bug form posting configured properly?

This has been complained of before. It used to be that the bug form
sent mail with the submitter shown in the From: line. Lately it is
producing mail From: "PostgreSQL Bugs List" <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org>
which is really quite useless. It'd be nice to get back to the old
behavior so you don't have to hand-hack the headers of your reply.

I'm just guessing the behavior was changed to keep form emails from
being delayed via non-subscribed emails trying to post to the list? I
think we should be able to set the reply-to headers to include both
pgsql-bugs and the submitters email address... would that be accetable?

Ideally the email would have a CC of bugs and reply to the original submitter, but I am not sure that is possible. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

What if we keep the current behavior, but set the CC to bugs and reply-to as the submitter? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

OK, I changed it to:
$headers = "From: \"PostgreSQL Bugs List\"
<pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: \"" . stripslashes($name) . "\" <" .
stripslashes("$email") . ">\n";
I haven't have a 'please wait for approval' message yet which is good -
can you see my second test on the list (I'm not subscribed); the problem
details just say 'stuff'?
Regards Dave.

Dunno, delay was never a problem with the old implementation. I think
Marc may have some special case in place in the mail list software
to allow bug-form reports to pass through. Marc?
I'd prefer the From: line to get fixed anyway. Even though setting a
reply-to line would suffice for getting a reply's To: field correct,
it would not help the problem that quote insertion produces

<submittername> writes:

which is really the polite way to phrase it.

I like the currently fixed setup. I like the fact that they come in with no delay, and reply/group reply work fine. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

It's there, but the From: line still says PostgreSQL Bugs List ...

I looked back and found that my recollection was wrong. The old bug
form generated this:
To: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org
From: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org
Reply-To: <submitter>, pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org
so I guess reply-to is what it'll have to be.
