(Note that this does not really have anything to do with the recent
discussion of what is RFC822-legal in In-Reply-To headers.)
I want my `In-Reply-To' headers to say "John Doe's message of ..." if
possible, or "doe@foo.bar.com's message of ..." if possible, or as a last
resort the old "Your message of ...".
I've been trying to get my replcomps right to do this, but for some
reason it's always using the second form (address of the sender).
The mh-format(5) manpage is not overly descriptive of anything, and I
don't really understand all of it. Could someone please help me figure
out what I'm doing wrong? Also, does anyone have any more specific
descriptions of the various address-formatting functions (what `friendly'
means, etc.)? Thanks.
The pertinent part of my replcomps follows.
%<{date}In-reply-to: \
%<{pers}%{pers}'s%|%<{from}%(friendly {from})'s%|\
%<{sender}%(friendly {sender})'s%|Your%>%>%> \
message of %<(nodate{date}){date}%|%(pretty{date})%>.\n%>
