references being converted to mailto links

[James Galvin-4]

I'm working with a site that recently did an upgrade from version
2.6.10 to version 2.6.16.  However, an odd thing happened.

Immediately after the cut-over all messages with a references
header had those elements converted to Mailto: links instead of
being references to the actually prior messages.

I have looked through the documentation and the archive but nothing
I found seems applicable in this case.

Have I overlooked something obvious?  Has anyone encountered this
before?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

For completeness, no special actions were taken for the conversion.
We just installed and started using v2.6.16.

Thanks!

Jim

I would need some sample messages, resource files, and command-line
invocation arguments to do any further analysis.

I still haven't figured out what is going on, so I'm sending these
under separate cover to you.

I appreciate any pointers you might have.

No problem.

Attached is a patch for MHonArc v2.6.16 for the file mhutil.pl (in
the lib directory of the distribution) that should fix the problem.

NOTE: Only archives that render the References and In-Reply-To
header fields are affected by this problem, and if you have
SPAMMODE and/or ADDRESSMODIFYCODE enabled.  Rendering of such
fields are common for those that do little customization to
how message headers are rendered.

Please try out and report back if you have success or if
the problem persists.

Thanks,

What problem?

This is not the solution for my bugreport concerning
Fieldorder/Adressmodifycode (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?17904),
right? (that the 'references' should be included in %HFieldsAsIsList I
wrote there...)

Best regards, Wolfgang

That addressmodifycode affects message-id and references.

The patch should fix the bug reported also.
