Hello everybody

This weekend I found that if I duplicate a reply it does not become a reply it self.
Is this on purpouse?
I have been through the source a little (not much time for that) and I can not find a reason where the "in reply to" value is dropped.

Could anyone give me an pointer?


This is on purpuse. The Duplicate functionality is ment to "clone" an existing entry, to save some typing work if an existing entry contains most of what one wants in a new entry. If one duplicates a reply, it is detached from the original thread, so there is not entry to attach the duplicate to. I guess you want to make a new reply to an existing entry, and then have another existing reply as a template for that, but this is not possible. If I would not drop the "in reply to" value, the duplicate would point to the wrong entry.
