Messagegroups are a new kind of group. Every user can join and leave such a
group on her own. They are useful to create topics for mails.
E.g. if there is a weekly newsletter we can create a new messagegroup for
it and every user which is interested in receiving the newsletter can join
the corresponding group.
If the reply_email_domain configuration is set the messages plugin will
use unique Reply-To addresses for every email. They contain enough
information to reconstruct the message context and a hash to avoid
user forgery and spam.
A mail transfer agent must be configured to call the new rake task
foodsoft:parse_reply_email for incoming mails. The rake task requires
the receipt of the mail in the RECIPIENT variable and the raw message
via standard input. An example invocation would look like:
rake foodsoft:parse_reply_email RECIPIENT=f.1.1.HASH < test.eml
This new view sorts the messages by threads based on the reply_to.
Now we store only the message which started a new thread in the reply_to
field to avoid recursive queries.
