It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
When creating a direct message to a group with group SMTP
set up, and adding another person to that message in the OP,
we send an email to the second person in the OP via the group_smtp
job. This in turn creates an IncomingEmail record to guard against
IMAP double sync.
The issue with this was that this IncomingEmail (which is essentialy
a placeholder/dummy one) was having its Message-ID used as the canonical
References Message-ID for subsequent emails sent out to user_private_message
recipients (such as members of the group), causing threading issues in
the mail client. The canonical <topic/ID@HOST> format should be used
instead for these cases.
This commit fixes the issue by only using the IncomingEmail for the
OP's Message-ID if the OP was created via our handle_mail email receiver
pipeline. It does not make sense to use it in other cases.
Since 3b13f1146b2a406238c50d6b45bc9aa721094f46 the email threading
in mail clients has been broken, because the random suffix meant
that the References header would always be different for non-group
SMTP email notifications sent out.
This commit fixes the issue by always using the "canonical" topic
reference ID inside the References header in the format:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
Which was the old format. We also add the References header to
notifications sent for the first post arriving, so the threading
works for subsequent emails. The Message-ID header is still random
as per the previous change.
Currently the Message-IDs we send out for outbound email
are not unique; for a post they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID@HOST
And for a topic they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
This commit changes the outbound Message-IDs to also have
a random suffix before the host, so the new format is
like this:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
Or:
topic/TOPIC_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
This should help with email deliverability. This change
is backwards-compatible, the old Message-ID format will
still be recognized in the mail receiver flow, so people
will still be able to reply using Message-IDs, In-Reply-To,
and References headers that have already been sent.
This commit also refactors Message-ID related logic
to a central location, and adds judicious amounts of
tests and documentation.
