Hi,
We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:
1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.
2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.
3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.
Can someone help us?
Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved. |

Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Do not use "Remove on reply".

This has been fixed recently, please update.

I tried to use your config file and add
Fixed attributes reply = Subject, Category
and it worked as expected. What kind of "break" did you observe? |

For me, when I put the Category in the fixed attributes for reply, I see the
Category but when I actually try to send the message - it says Category not
entered. I am sure I am doing something very stupid. Please help.

No, it was a bug, which I could reproduce now. I fixed it in revision 1.554. It will
be contained in the next release. |
