Subject: [sup-talk] Wrong messages in thread

Two more questions  :P

1) Some messages end up in the wrong thread.  When there is no other
useful info, sup appears to guess a thread by the Subject similarity.
Unfortunately that ends up being very wrong for my university mailing
list, since they have no List-Id, but the full university name in the
Subject and people won't learn to write meaningful Subjects.

[blablablalblalbafooomal uni blabla] hi
is displayed in the same thread with
[blablablalblalbafooomal uni blabla] hello
although those are two different threads.

Can I manually fix those?

2) how's that address book generated?
I have sup-talk-request and sup-talk-something
but not sup-talk.

thanks

When you edit an address in thread-view-mode using i it gets added
to your address book. Ideally, stuff should get added when you compose
and email the first time. This is a patch I want to make at some point.

Cheers,

Yes it would be great to automatically prompt for adding the contact when
we send a message to someone not yet in contacts.

Sup does not do this. If you're seeing messages with different subjects
in the same thread, a later one contains a reference to an earlier one.
Sometimes this happens if people reply to a mailing list message and
change the subject as a way of starting a new message. You can confirm
this by examining the in-reply-to and references headers of the later
message.

> I have sup-talk-request and sup-talk-something

By manually adding contacts, e.g. with 'i' in thread-view-mode, plus a
couple recent contacts automatically drawn from the index.
