Hi,

Sorry for the length of my answer to a subject which should be without any other object than a joke to disturb mind.

I have three sources of mails coming from “wordpress forum” with the unique sender “wordpress.org” :
1- Answers to question that I have issued or subjects to what I participate, this about various plugins (near twenty)
2- Interesting questions for which I had no other solution than check “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” (fifty may be during last three years)
3- Subscriptions to several plugins (may be thirty)

For each source the reported threads have simple titles to be identified into the plugins.

Currently for the three cases the identification of the mail is :
[Wordpress Forum] <the title of the thread>
Alll of these with the unique sender “wordpress.org” (the unique “from address” for anything)

I say that this leads to an impossibility to manage exchanges because of a lack of information to identify for each mails the origin and the cause.

I receive each day a package of one to two hundred useful mails from [forum wordpress] that I cannot sort (that I should sort to make of them something useful).
So I would need to sort or filter these messages :
1- by plugin
2- by request type :
– Notify me of follow-up replies via email
– Subscribed to any message on the forum of “the plugin”

But this is currently impossible.

You tell “The messages are what they are” this suppose that nothing can change, it is sure that this is the common issue in our current world.

You confirm that

• There is no information to attach the object and text of a thread to the plugin.
• There is no information to know the reason of the message.

It is exactly like for a post service of a town to receive all the letters to distribute (10 millions per day with only the name of the recipient without address and have to deliver to destination as in a little village). Try to post a letter from New York with a name and without address.

So you tell that’s impossible to get anymore information that the sender “wordpress.org”, the fact that’s from the whole forum, and the subject name (no id).

So the natural consequence is that I, who receive the mail, must imagine a software to get all the subjects of all forums about plugins, all the message that I have send, all the messages that I have read, all the messages for which I am waiting an answer and generate an index and with the help of all these informations that I could have stored (how ? with a pencil) when I had sent a message, checked a send me what it is told about, or everything done about these plugins. And, after running this index system and the attached software that I could create and use, to get finally the messages received sorted into separate boxes by plugin, boxes for urgent answers to the answers to my questions or various subjects followed individually could become usable. I have 30.000 messages are you ready…

I can too created an employment of secretary to print, sort, scan, convert and finally to encoded the text of printed mails and finally create clear titles (note that the mails subjects cannot be changed inside the mailers) which will have as subject the content :

[Wordpress forum N°9999] – [answer about followed thread | message on subscription] N° 9999 (as for many forum and development threads management : stackoverflow, mozilla etc.) – subject

That’s all.

You explain in fact to me that my question has no meaning and is impossible to solve for the wordpress modern informatics and that we need to apply the best solution which is to go back to manual treatment of information.

This current result is something perfectly mind boggling.

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards

Trebly
