480235 - mail.strict_threading + mail.correct_threading ignored in 3.0b2

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

Since I upgraded Thunderbird 3 from beta1 to beta2, it seems that the mail.strict_threading and mail.correct_threading prefs no longer work. New incoming bugmail is not in correct threads.

wicked, can you confirm?

Comment 1

[Teemu Mannermaa (:wicked)]

I haven't witnessed any threading problems lately but I don't think I have received any problematic bugmail (like summary changes) recently. I also keep all the "new bugmail" so I have valid "pointed to msgid" messages for my threads. I haven't been looking for problems that hard either. :)

I also just tried to rebuild my BMO bugmail and Bugzilla ML folder indexes and threads seem to still be in correct order. So, unfortunately, I can't confirm this problem.

For the record, I'm currently using "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090226 Shredder/3.0b3pre ID:20090226032557" and usually update every few weeks for latest nightly.

BTW, you'd might want to consider disable mail.strict_threading and mail.thread_without_re (but leave mail.correct_threading enabled to enable my threading fixes!) so you get threading even for reply subject lines that have invalid reference headers (happens for mailman/newgroup gated mailing lists that are used). For full reference, please read https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Message_Threading

This bug still exists in beta3. Having threads broken is really a pain.

Comment 3

[David :Bienvenu]

minusing - can you give an example mailbox that doesn't thread correctly with the prefs set?

These two are not in the same thread:

For the record, that's what I have already, since beta 1.

 Frédéric are you still seeing this?

(In reply to comment #6)
>  Frédéric are you still seeing this?

Oh yes! :( (Tb 3.0.3)

Comment 8

[Matt Jacob]

I'm still having threading problems as well (3.0.4). My related config settings are as follows:

mail.strict_threading;false
mail.thread_without_re;true
mail.correct_threading;true

Yet, In-Reply-To: still seems to take precedence over Subject:. This is particularly annoying in mailing lists where people reply to messages to start a new thread (bad list etiquette, I know, but people still do it). It seems like turning strict_threading off should solve the problem, but it doesn't.

Comment 9

[Frédéric Buclin]

Maybe this helps: compacting the folder (manually) fixes the problem. Threads are correct again. But this should be done automatically, ideally.

Comment 10

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Antony does this reproduce for you?
