Обсуждение: reconstructing old threads fun
I just noticed a glitch in the algorithms for thread reconstruction. See this thread: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1290091189-sup-9738@alvh.no-ip.org in which I just found that the archives were incomplete. I had the missing emails (since I was CCed), so I thought it'd be good to have them in the public archive. So I bounced them to pgsql-admin. If you open the initial email, the thread dropdown doesn't list the added emails. If you follow the "response" links at the bottom, you won't reach the added emails. However, if you open the "flat" view, they will definitely be there. Is this something that would manifest in other cases when emails in the middle of a thread get added later than some later ones? This is not a common situation, but it might happen if some emails in the middle are moderated and later ones are not. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

Since I don't know exactly which of the emails had the problem - if you go back now, has it by any chance resolved itself already? AFAICT there's at least the same *number* of messages in the two lists now... -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
