GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 792065
Merging conversations
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:24:10 UTC
Would be cool if we could merge conversations, since it happened several times lately, that others edited the subject of our conversation (or created a new one), while the mails were about exactly the same topic.
Some possible means of doing this would be to use selection mode or using drag and drop, and ideally have some means of splitting conversations as well.
Implementation-wise, I think a new (meta) subject has to be implemented in your mail abstraction/object for preserving all the original subjects – so each mail then has an origanal and optionally a meta/custom subject. This should both be choosable from the either one of the old subjects, or a new one should be creatable. And this would also make sense for single mails, for if you want to answer with a different subject to a mail and also creating a new conversation (for example for correcting the first – maybe inappropriate – subject).

Looks good to me still!
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
