Yeah, majordomo does not consider MESSAGE_ID a "standard substitution
variable". It's some other kind of variable it seems, so it's not
replaced on message footers.

It's a bad idea anyway.

I find it useless, but why do you think it's a bad idea? I had a look
at the mj2 source and I think the patch needed to make this work is a
one liner. So if we're interested it seems that it could be made to
work.

I would certainly like to have some idea behind why making accessing
specific threads in the archives is a bad idea?

Cool.

Why a patch? Why not just:

configset DEFAULT message_footer <<ENDAAB

Because that doesn't work :-) I already tried (as you can see in the
message that starts this thread) and MESSAGE_ID is not expanded in that
context. What the patch does is enable it for expansion.

While I have your attention, could you please fix the footer? I messed
up the trailing whitespace in the "-- " line and I can't fix it. See
here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/BDE3BC5B7E87393F64EB7359%40ganymede.hub.org

Magnus tried to help but he hit some errors so he backed off; he told me
to ask you instead. (Note that I only changed it in pgsql-hackers, not
DEFAULT).

Thanks,
