Bug 174905 – Extra header in bugmail to help sorting watched bugmail

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2007-04-17 12:44:50 UTC]

Currently, it is impossible to sort incoming bugmail based on rule "for user XYZ whom I watch". Adding a X-Bugzilla-For-Watched (or X-Bugzilla-Orig-User, or whatever, I'm sure a better name can be thought up) header would help in this.

Please consider it, thanks.

Created attachment 131427 [details, diff]
patch to add more verbose headers to bugmail

I took a look at the bugzilla-2.22.3 source and found that additional headers can be added rather easily. The attached patch adds the following headers: X-Bugzilla-Reporter, X-Bugzilla-Assigned and X-Bugzilla-CC. Combined with the existing X-Bugzilla-Reason, some client side filter magic should do the job.

The patch however IS NOT TESTED at all, but when you take a look at it you'll see that it's rather trivial. Can someone from infra please review and comment on this?

Maybe this should be reassigned to [e-mail]...

I even got the product wrong. :/

I'd add the Assigned and Reporter headers, but not the CC header, simply because of how large it would be. Would it still be useful then?

IMHO yes. Personally I would like to be able to sort e-mails mainly by Assignee.

Changed now. Not closing yet so I can see the patch in action.

Ok, it works.
