Hello,
Here is a bug I came across. I have many forums which sync to nntp servers. In general that syncing works pretty well.
I had a user enable the "Post Notification" option on a new topic that he created. He received an email when another user responded. In the email, there is a link that goes directly to a forum page where he can type in his reply. So far so good.
The problem is that the header sent to the nntp server on this message was missing the "References" field. So on the nntp server it showed up as a new thread and not as a reply to a previous thread (like it should have).
I have done a test on this and reproduced the exact behaviour. I can send the full headers from the two test cases (reply from forum, reply via reply link in email) via PM if required. I'd rather not post those details.
Cheers,
James.
