Re: Modified Message-IDs as a Gmail work-around


 

David,

I changed this thread's title to match its content (should have done that before). The original post is still the changelog entry though.
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/7316

Having the same message content arriving with two Message-IDs is a bit
worse than just the user seeing both copies.
Mind you, a given recipient only gets one version, and the Gmail user like me with this feature turned on only gets the Groups.io ID on my own messages.

So it only matters if I reply to my own message. Everyone else's replies would have the original Gmail message-ID. Though this might explain the occasional "mystery" split I've seen on site. If I don't reply (by email) to my own message then the Groups.io ID goes nowhere but into my email folders.

As I understand, this was originally done so that gmail users would
see their own messages.
Correct.

Perhaps the response here is to instruct people on how to configure
gmail for this behavior ...
I've never seen such an instruction that actually worked. Except for tricks that boil down to "post from a different email address".

(The easiest way is to write a catch-all filter rule that then does
nothing. For some reason this causes the sent message to remain in the
inbox instead of being moved to Sent).
I don't want to see the message as sent. I want to see the message as returned, complete with Groups.io's header and footer fields, and possible edits by a moderator while pending.

With this change, however, something changed about the defaults. I
have users now complaining that they are seeing their messages twice,
and we had previously configured things to never send messages with
changed message IDs. Did something change about the default or
configurable behavior in this regard?
I've not noticed any changes.

But then I have the "I always want copies of my own messages" box checked, and always have. So this change should only affect the Message-ID in messages I send as received by others. Now they should be seeing the original Gmail ID; whereas before they (like I) would see the Groups.io ID.

Shal
