i just found an issue with using qconfirm-check-mid(1) as an argument to qconfirm-check(1) to automatically accept messages having local message-IDs in the RFC-[2]822 References: or In-Replyto: headers. q-c-mid(1) lowercases message lines, but not the message-IDs given as arguments. this will make it fail to recognize responses to locally generated messages, so the remote end still has to confirm its own reply! gerrit, please make a note in q-c-mid(1)s documentation or let it lowercase MIDs given either in .qconfirm/conf/QCONFIRM_MID or on the command line. this buglet was hard for me to track down, because i use several message-IDs, one of which was given the way it was generated, with two uppercase letters in it. so i had replies where q-c-mid(1) worked and many where it didn't. the source is explicit about the cause, but i actually didn't suspect that innocent piece where upper- to lowercase conversion is done, since it isn't wrong in itself, it only leaves out the same treatment for argument- or environment MIDs. regards, clemens
