Users replying to digest rather than starting a new thread

[Matt Graham]

Actually – better idea:
Can the digest produce a hyperlink at the end of each topic that is titled “Reply to this thread”. The hyperlink would be a standard “mailto:” hyper link that sets up an email to this user thread with the subject line of the thread. Would make it extremely easy to reply to a digest (and harder to do it wrong!).

Should be possible making the link address ‘mailto:gnucash-user at gnucash.org?subject=Previous subject string’. Just don’t know if it is possible with mailman.

Thanks and regards,

Matt

No worries Liz,

I was thinking how off-putting it must be for a new user receiving messages from other users saying “Don’t post like that!!!”

My next idea would be for the server to automatically change the subject line to ‘ “Question from “ + User Name’ whenever someone replies straight to a digest.

Happy for no change though – just means we’ll probably still keep getting people replying to the digests like this. Ultimately, it isn’t a big issue, and if there is no easy way to fix it, we can just work with it.

Thanks and regards,

Matt

I'm not aware of a place to put such an option.
I wouldn't like to get such an email if I was a new user with a
question related to a topic on the digest, and I'm not in favour of
making such a change.
