Email threading package?

[Ask Bjørn Hansen]

Hi,

Has anyone made an (open source) package to thread emails -- ideally a variation of http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html ? (I wanted to upgrade an old NNTP -> web gateway to Go to make it easier to maintain and it seems like nobody has done this part yet as open source -- or really much email parsing stuff).

Searching the internet for "golang email thread" (and variations) brings a lot of results referencing other email threads. :-)

Hey, this is a long shot but any chance you found a Go implementation for the JWZ algorithm?

There's that:

https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/go-emailthreads

(Quickly scanning the sources, it seems it "just" performs a topological sort, though)

hth,

Hi,

I was going to need to write this anyway, so I took today to write it and the company decided we can open source it. I have literally just pushed it to github, so please report any problems if you try it out. I have not proofread and checked the documentation yet, so I have made it 0.9.0 for the next day or so, after which it will be released. I hope this helps:

I have tested it on hundreds of thousands of emails using the enmime email parsing package to generate the envelopes - this is a very good package by the way if you need a parser.

Cheers,

Jim
