  • de90b572   Allow more mail clients to group emails by thread ... Browse File » 
    * send a ‘In-Reply-To’ header along the ‘References’ header
* subject of answers to an existing thread begins with ‘Re: ’

This fixes threading with at least Mail.app and Airmail.

    This fixes email threading in Mail.app, that doesn't like when a thread
doesn't have stable recipients.

For instance, here is a possible sender-recipient combinations before:

From: A
To: Me
New issue

From: B
To: Me
Reply on new issue

From: A
To: Me
Another reply

Mail.app doesn't see B as a participant to the original email thread,
and decides to break the thread: it will group all messages from A
together, and separately all messages from B.

This commit makes the thread look like this:

From: A
To: gitlab/project
Cc: Me
New issue

From: B
To: gitlab/project
Cc: Me
Reply on new issue

From: A
To: gitlab/project
Cc: Me
Another reply

Mail.app sees a common recipient, and group the thread correctly.

  • 7ba0b502   Add a "View in GitLab" link in notification emails ... Browse File » 
    When an email notification concerns a specific object (issue, note,
merge request, etc.), add a link to the footer of the email that opens
the item's page in a web browser.

Rationale:

* The link is predictable: always the same text, always at the same
location, like any reliable tool.

* It allows to remove the inline-title in many emails, and leave only
the actual content of the message.

    This changes the email "From" field from "gitlab@example.com" to either:

* "John Doe <gitlab@example.com>" if the author of the action is known,
* "GitLab <gitlab@example.com>" otherwise.

Rationale: this allow mails to appear as if they were sent by the
author. It appears in the mailbox more like a real discussion between
the sender and the receiver ("John sent: we should refactor this") and
less like a robot notifying about something.

  • 57cb1ca7   Write the issue/merge request title in the notification email subject ... Browse File » 
    This changes the email subjects for issues and merge request
notifications from:

    Team / Project | Note for issue #1234

to:

    Team / Project | Saving issue doesn't work sometimes (#1234)

Rationale:

* Scan the subject of the email notification more easily when catching
up with a lot of notifications. Instead of having to open the email to
get the title of the issue or merge request, one can simply read the
subject of the email.

* Group messages by subject: email clients will group emails in threads
if they have the same subject.

  • 57ad81a9   Fix minor errors/annoyances in email templates ... Browse File » 
    There was some funny syntax in merge request email templates. There was a ! before
the merge request number when there probably should be a #. This may be some carry over
from markdown but should not be in email templates.  There were also some capitalization
discrepancies among the subject lines. For those OCD people out there I standardized the
capitalization. :)
