Subject: b4 message ID shortening
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2020 12:54:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200323125456.GC4948@sirena.org.uk> (raw)

When generating filenames to save messages b4 am looks like it truncates
the message ID to generate the default filename (or possibly uses a
portion of the date now I think about it, I didn't read the code). For
example
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200320232515.GA24800@embeddedor.com
results in a mailbox
20200320_gustavo_embeddedor_com.mbx
which is all well and good except if you also try to save:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200320232556.GA24989@embeddedor.com
it generates the same filename and silently overwrites the first
mailbox. Using b4 mbox avoids this as it generates files using the full
message ID such as
20200320232515.GA24800@embeddedor.com.t.mbx-thread
which avoids collisions.
FWIW my workflow is currently to save a bunch of mailboxes into a
directory then throw them at a script to do some testing & apply them if
that works.
