Hi,
i have been using fud with mailing list now for nearly an year, and the stuff actually works very well.
There is a small problem though. When FUD sends a message to the mailing list, it doesn't set the REply-To unless the actual message replied to is from teh mailing list.
Actually, FUD should check the entire thread for any message that contains the Mail-Message-Id, and use the first ID while sending mails to the list. Otherwise the mailing list thread gets badly broken, and it becomes virtually impossible to keep track of what's happening.
The problem happens if people make consecutive posts in the forum without an intervening post from the mailing list. Then the last replied to message doesn't contain a MEssage-ID, and fud just mails without any "REply-To flag".
Actually this shouldnt' create that much overhead since u have to only search one single thread, and use the Mail-Message-ID of the first mail it encounters. And this will only be executed for people who want the mailing list. So totaly it won't effect the normal forum performance too.
So can this be done?
i would really appreciate this feature. Mutt with a lot of broken threads is very difficult to manage.
Thanks in advance.

I think the change should be in imsg_edit.inc.t on line 485.
After this code we should have one more scan for replyto_id. The below is the existing FUD code.
$replyto_id = q_singleval('SELECT mlist_msg_id FROM {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}msg WHERE id='.$mtf->reply_to);
We will try once more, and do a grand sweep.
If ($replyto_id === null) {
$replyto_id = q_singleval("slect mlist_msg_id from msg where THREAD-ID = '$thread-id' AND mlist_msg_id != '');
}
So you just search that particular thread for any message that contains a mlist_msg_id. Anything will actually do. We just don't want the thread to break up, that's all.i am not really good with Db queries, so the above may not be perfectly right. But it the the idea is implementable.

I apologize. This problem was solved long back by FUD itself setting a mail_list_id rather than wait for the mail to do so. The problem at my forum was owing to the fact that the mailing list had not yet been created when a particular post was made, and any reply to THAT particular post will come without a reply-TO, which is actually the correct behaviour.
Sorry for the confusion.
