Subject: | bug#47660: Add link to the ticket when someone reply |
Date: | Thu, 15 Apr 2021 17:00:03 +0000 |
Email sucks due to:* Messages are not encrypted by default which mean it need an extra tool to do it and commonly used is GPG/PGP + it needs tool to implement this encryption on the messages which mean mail reader/client most commonly one used is thunderbird/icedove <- This method having tremendous security issues check for example:
- https://efail.de/ - https://www.whonix.org/wiki/OpenPGP#Issues_with_PGP* Most of the time (not always) heavily rely on clearnet which mean issues of TLS/DNS which needs to be hardened otherwise they are exist by names but does nothing.
..This is out of scope to discuss this in details, I just want to see the bug URL linked to the bottom of the email i receive thats it.

I sign my e-mails as a guarantee to my recipients that what you get is truly from me. That plus my mail client makes that-- signing emails-- way easy to do. I also sign all my commits, even on the major platforms. FWIW, even on GH, and GL, you could sign your emails when replying to an email, thereby having the recipients on the Cc see your pgp/ gpg signature, while GL/ GH scrapes it off when displaying it's contents. However, there are people who sign email inline. Here's one such example: https://github.com/alezost/guix.el/issues/39 PS: If you use gnus from Emacs, you should read: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/message/Signing-and-encryption.html#Signing-and-encryption In my Emacs, I have: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (use-package mm-encode :config (setq mm-encrypt-option 'guided) (setq mm-sign-option 'guided)) (use-package mml-sec :config (setq mml-secure-openpgp-encrypt-to-self t) (setq mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender t) (setq mml-secure-smime-encrypt-to-self t) (setq mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender t)) (use-package epa-file :config (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption nil)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---gitlab,github,trac...etc all giving the ticket URL on the bottom of the message nothing with magic im suggesting here.

So i dont understand whats the big deal having it here as well.Mangling e-mails can cause all kinds of trouble. It would mess up git patches, break messages signed with PGP or S/MIME (does anyone here actually use S/MIME?), makes some headers used for spam detection (and more generally, detecting forged mails) invalid, which will lead to messages from the mailing list and @debbugs.gnu.org be marked as spam ... Greetings, Maxime.
