📬 Notification emails unwanted threading

[ryanburnette]

This isn't in the library, but it's relevant.

I have still never figured out how to add a header to emails to separate the threads. I'm still including a portion of my secret in the subject line to keep subsequent notify emails from threading.

If you solve this problem, please show me how you did it.

I'm glad you asked. This was a good find:

These alone won't do:

• https://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html

request({
  url: `https://api.mailgun.net/v3/${domain}/messages`,
  auth: `api:${apiKey}`,
  form: {
    from: "mailer@rootprojects.org",
    "h:Reply-To": "aj@rootprojects.org",
    "h:Message-ID": rnd() + "@msgs.rootprojects.org",
    "h:X-Entity-Ref-ID": rnd() + "@msgs.rootprojects.org",
    "h:References": rnd() + "@msgs.rootprojects.org",
    to: "coolaj86@gmail.com",
    subject: "Hey Now, Hey Now",
    html: `${preHeader}<p>Don't thread this over.</p>`,
    text: "Don't thread this over.",
  },
})
