1 year ago I have tried debugging this issue myself now and got the following information:
- when an
In-Reply-Tois specified, the bridge queries previous messages to try and find a message with that ID - only when the bridge finds an appropriate message will the
In-Reply-Toheader be present in the sent message, otherwise it will be dropped silently - in the case of external ids, if there are multiple, none are selected and the
In-Reply-Toheader is also dropped silently
This also affects the References header.
My personal issue happened, because I am also subscribed to that mailing list, so when I receive my own message from the list, the bridge now finds two messages with the same external ID. This prompts the In-Reply-To header to be dropped from any further messages, since the bridge finds two messages with the same ID.
The problem lies here: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge/blob/master/internal/user/smtp.go#L297

When sending email patches to the Linux kernel mailing list via
git send-emailand the protonmail bridge, at some point the emails miss theIn-Reply-Toheader. Additionally theReferencesheader only contains the internal protonmail id and also drops the one requested bygit send-email. This does not affect every email, but after one email from a patch series is affected, every email after it also misses the headers.Expected Behavior
Protonmail bridge should not remove the supplied headers.
Current Behavior
When sending emails to a mailing list, at some arbitrary email the headers stop being set correctly.
Possible Solution
Steps to Reproduce
In-Reply-Tothe cover letter (this is correct): https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20230331215053.585759-1-y86-dev@protonmail.com/ the rest are scattered for example: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20230331215053.585759-9-y86-dev@protonmail.com/I also tried sending the patches with
--relogin-delay=7and--batch-size=1, this results in every email being sent via new smtp session.Version Information
Protonmail bridge:
v3.0.21git version:2.39.2Context (Environment)
Patches should be sent in the correct thread. It is very inconvenient to have to copy 16 emails into the webclient, set the correct contacts every single time (it can be upwards of 8 recipients!) and then also reply to the correct email. So it would be best if the solution enables the use of
git send-email. Maybe there are some configuration options ingit send-emailthat can help here, but as I cannot even debug the problem, I have no idea what to try. Another problem is that this did not occur when I sent them to a single contact. This has also happened to other users, see here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/Yl4zGh5VZTPVjV4D@ArchDesktop/I also saw #122 but I think this issue is different.
