Hey folks,

I gave up using sup a while ago (read half a year) when I began
getting a lot of email from my university's Moodle. Moodle has/had a
rather stupid bug (now fixed, but it's gonna take years to reach my
university), which was that every email that wasn't based on a reply
(For example a new forum thread notification at moodle), received a
default In-Reply-To header of "moodlepost0@moodle.tamk.fi".

You can probably imagine what happens: Every email coming from moodle
gets threaded under non-existing email "moodlepost0". In fact, they
wont appear in my inbox at all.

So I'd need a hook to kill this moodlepost0 from every email I
receive. I found this on pastebin, which looks like sup stuff:

http://pastebin.com/vzuXu9gr

In what file should I use it in? And is there a way to make the whole
index go through the hook, so I can recover all my old moodle emails
and get them threaded properly too?


Thanks,
Matti Eiden

  I _think_ you'd want to apply that in the before-add-message hook
  (~/.sup/hooks/before-add-message.rb).  That type of things makes me
  want to cry...glad moodle fixed it though.
  
  Thanks

    For anyone concerned, here's what worked for me. It was important to
    delete the reference too, which included the same thing, as I guess
    the threading function of sup automatically sets the reference to
    in-reply-to if it's missing.
    
    Here's also the original bug report at Moodle;
    http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-22551
    
    Thanks Ben for pointing me in the right direction.
    
    
    ##hooks/before-add-message.rb
    
    fail_replyto = "moodlepost0@moodle.tamk.fi"
    if message.replytos.include?(fail_replyto)
      message.replytos.delete(fail_replyto)
    end
    
    if message.refs.include?(fail_replyto)
      message.refs.delete(fail_replyto)
    end

      FYI you can create a small script to fix already indexed mails.
      Be sure to quit sup before you do this and change the moodlepost address.
      
      require 'sup'
      include Redwood
      start
      i = Index.init
      i.load
      
      moodle_junk = "moodlepost0@whatever.org"
      
      i.each_message do |m|
        if m.replytos.include?(moodle_junk)
          m.replytos.delete(moodle_junk)
          i.update_message_state m
        end
      
        if m.refs.include?(moodle_junk)
          m.refs.delete(moodle_junk)
          i.update_message_state m
        end
      end
      
      i.save
