Okay, this makes some sense.<br>
<br>
The visibility of this whole "Message ID" feature would be on/off
controlled by preferences.php. I would suggest off by default?
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
The actual name of the "Message ID" field would be customisable: as
you say, different organisations will have different names for it,
but basically it's some form of ticket number or project codename.<br>
<br>
If it's set, I insert it between the [ZendTo] tag and the normal
email subject line.<br>
<br>
In the case of making a request for a drop-off, the (internal) user
is asked for the Subject line of the email to send. Should I also
ask for the "Message ID" string as part of the request form?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

I think the original poster and I may have different use cases.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps present it to the user not as part of the subject.
Perhaps label it as “Message ID”. I would assume displaying
would be a setting pref file. So this way, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> If (isset($messageID)) then $subject = [Zendto] . $messageID
. $subject; else $subject = [Zendto] . $subject;<br>

I know that’s not even close to proper code, but I hope you get
the gist.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For me, the [ZendTo] can stay or be replaced.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I’m guessing anyone else who would use the feature has
another ticketing or request system they are using that
generates the custom string they need to use. For me, even the
term request ID would work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My thought behind it is to making merging these mails into
another system easier to automate. It would also make it easier
to display in email in a conversation view. Anyone using the
feature would have a internal custom name for the custom string.</div>

<div>Then again, long day and I’ll stop rambling. </div>

Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm having a think about this one.<br>
<br>
The idea of the prefix is pretty simple, basically I would
give you the "[ZendTo]" string (as an initial default value)
in a "Subject" box in the new drop-off form.<br>
<br>
Whatever you end up putting in there gets used instead of
[ZendTo] at the start of the email subject lines.<br>
<br>
However......<br>
<br>
If you request a drop-off, you get to supply the whole
Subject line for the email to the person you want to send
you their files.<br>
Ideally, that same Subject line would be used in all
notifications etc about that drop-off.<br>
But they have entered the *whole* Subject line, not just the
prefix to it.<br>
If I use their whole Subject line as a prefix, it's going to
look weird.<br>
<br>
So what do I do for the Subject prefix, when it was created
as a result of a request which had the entire Subject line
supplied?<br>
I clearly can't ask the person sending the request to supply
2 Subject entries — both the current whole Subject line
*and* the prefix to use — as that would confuse the hell out
of them.<br>
<br>
Any ideas please?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

While no one has asked for this yet, I do see it’s
usefulness.
<div>I do use custom strings in email subjects for
some projects as well. Helps with sorting,

You effectively just want to allow senders to
customise the "[ZENDTO]" subject line tag in
each drop-off, correct?<br>
<br>
Does anyone else need to do this too?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

Jules, hi all. <br>
<br>
I have a strange request from our ZendTo
users. They asked if it would be possible to
add a custom field when sending a DropOff <br>
that results in a custom text in all ZendTo
email concerning this specific DropOff. <br>
<br>
Example current: <br>
<br>
[ZENDTO] One of the recipients has picked up
your drop-off! <br>
<br>
Example requested: <br>
<br>
[ZENDTO] CUSTOM_STRING One of the recipients
has picked up your drop-off! <br>
<br>
I asked a little bit about the purpose of
their request and they told me that project
teams sort their email by subject and <br>
consequently keep the project name
(CUSTOM_STRING) in every subject of their
emails concerning that specific project. <br>
So later they could sort by project name
(CUSTOM_STRING) within Outlook to be able to
verify when they sent a specific DropOff. <br>
<br>
Question: <br>
Is it possible to implement such a feature?
<br>
<br>
I know that I could handcraft it but I don't
want to make big changes to the source and
always have to keep track of them when
upgrading. <br>
<br>
I am currently not on the latest version of
ZendTo, so if such a feature is maybe
already present in the latest version, feel
free <br>
to tell me. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance. <br>
<br>
Peter <br>
