code for linkquotes configuration option needs to be improved or deprecated #75

Open jkbzh opened 2 years ago

jkbzh commented 2 years ago

This option allows to create fine-grained links from quoted text to the text where the quote originated. It also improves the threads index file by more accurately matching messages with replies.

The code that does this has not been reviewed since long time ago and needs someone to maintain and improve it. In release 2.5.0 it has been labeled as experimental

Lack of either interest or maintenance for this option will put it at risk of deprecation in the next version of hypermail.
