misleading subject on hermes digest emails
Last modified: 2010-11-24 14:24:51 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 SUSE/3.6.8-1.3 Firefox/3.6.8 today I received a hermes digest message about two subjects, but the email subject contained only one subject and no hint that there were multiple messages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure Hermes to only send digests (e.g. daily) 2. subscribe to at least two topics 3. wait for two updates happening on the same day Actual Results: The message subject only contains one of the updated items. e.g. "[openFATE 308361] Offer remastered isos for released versions every N months" additionally, the body contains a "--" separator after each message part, so that some mail user agents (e.g. thunderbird/seamonkey-mail) gray out everything below the first message. This can easily lead to users missing updates. Expected Results: hermes should handle message digests in a similar way to common mailman/mlmmj mailing list digesting: If there is more than one message, hermes should mention in subject and/or head of body text the number of digested messages. The message header should also contain an index with titles and (if possible) links to the parts below. And the "--" separator should not occur in the middle of the email. example: This hermes digest contains 2 messages: 1. [openFATE 310234] Show total update size in Yast2 package manager 2. [openFATE 308361] Offer remastered isos for released versions every N months == 2010-08-11 23:15:59 => Feature changed by: Roberto Mannai (robermann79) Feature #310234, revision 5 ... bug 590794 also mentions the same issue for build failures
Thanks for reporting and my apologize that I did not touch it for so long. I changed the digest mail support and now a mail looks like follows: The subject contains a digest marker, the number of messages and the subject of the last message as example, like: Subject: [digest PER_MINUTE] 10 msgs, eg. Hermes Check Notification in the message, there is a TOC with numbering and timestamp like: Digest TOC: [ 1. 2010-11-24 13:14:28] Hermes Check Notification [ 2. 2010-11-24 13:14:26] Hermes Check Notification [ 3. 2010-11-24 13:14:26] Hermes Check Notification [ 4. 2010-11-24 13:14:25] Hermes Check Notification [ 5. 2010-11-24 13:14:25] Hermes Check Notification [ 6. 2010-11-24 13:14:24] Hermes Check Notification [ 7. 2010-11-24 13:14:23] Hermes Check Notification [ 8. 2010-09-17 16:26:05] Hermes Check Notification [ 9. 2010-09-17 16:26:03] Hermes Check Notification [10. 2010-08-30 19:37:02] Hermes Check Notification (note that the subjects are all equal in this example, usually thats not the case.) Each detail information has an in-message-header like in the toc. I hope this gives more structure and close this bug as fixed.
