How to add a message to an issue via roundup-admin?

Hi,

I'd like to be able to create a new message and add it to an issue via roundup-admin.

I have issue1 and I was able to do this:

$ roundup-admin -i . create msg     
Files (Multilink): 
Inreplyto (String): 
Recipients (Multilink): 
Author (Link): 
Summary (String): summary
Content (String): content
Messageid (String): 
Date (Date): 
Type (String): 
5
 
But I didn't see how to link the message to issue1. I did see a new entry in the _msg table but not in the issue_messages table. How do I do that? Do I need to create some other class that links the message to the issue? If so I'm not sure what that class is. Is there a way to list the available classes? Because then I could explore much more easily with 'roundup-admin list'.

It seems that if I knew how to generate a Messageid I could do this in one go (maybe) by setting the messageid to something like: <[email protected]> but I am not sure how to generate that id.

So another more roundabout way is, now that I have created that new message (5) I can add it to issue1 by doing this:

first get the existing messages for the issue:

$ roundup-admin -i . display issue1|grep messages
messages: ['1', '3', '4']

Then I can add to that:

roundup-admin -i . set issue1 messages="1,3,4,5"  

But that seems awfully roundabout. I'd like to automate this. Is there a one-line command to create a message and add it to an issue?

Thanks,
Dan
