I disrecommend using In-Reply-To when sending a revised patchset. Just start a new thread. Mailing lists which prefer In-Reply-To are in the minority.

- u801e 6y agoThe git mailing list seems to be a mix between the two and their submitting patches document doesn't seem to indicate which convention is preferred. Which mailing lists recommend against using the In-Reply-To header referencing the previous cover letter?
- ddevault 6y agoAll lists on lists.sr.ht, for one. Using the In-Reply-To header requires foreknowledge of email headers, the purpose of Message-ID, and how to find it. It's not very approachable. Most mailing lists who have thought about it don't ask users to do it.
