Re: (ITS#5350) Request: ITS links in mailinglist archives

In short, no.

The underlying archives are the email messages submitted to the list stored in mbox format, which are then reformatted to HTML using off-the-shelf software. While it technically possible to hack that software to do all kinds of reformatting (as we have the source), we don't have the resources to maintain a custom fork of that software.

However, there may be an reasonable alternative suggestion. The ITS software itself could be modified to include a URI to the issue in each message it sends. This would not only show up in archives, but in mail distributed to -bugs list and directly to users of the system.
