lamson support for message threading

lamson support for message threading

Hi

I'm working on the following scenario in a web application:

1. Django application sends an email (with the django utilities for
sending email)
2. User replies to said email
3. Lamson receives the email
4. The handler stores the reply in a django model

This is pretty simple and the concept is working. However I have one
problem, namely separating the actual reply text from the whole
message. Because different mail clients (webmail systems etc.) have
different ways of quoting the original message in the reply, I believe
the general concept is called message threading. Right now I'm using a
separator line "- Reply above this line -" but this obviously doesn't
work, for example gmail would add "On date  someone wrote:" before
that line and after the actual reply.

Does lamson have any utilities to separate the actual reply text from
the whole message in this scenario - when the original messages are
not sent using lamson?

Nope, it doesn't have anything that helps with that.  A few folks wrote
their own though, but it's incredibly hairy.
