Hello
Quick question does anyone played with this option. I’m curios to see an example of an id and how do you guys format the asci for this

mailActions.addHeader("Reference", "<unique-thread-identifier>")

Hi,

I do use that to see resulting mails in a threaded view in mail program, i.e. all mails with the same reference are grouped together.
To achieve this, I put something like “<openhab-update.charging_started@me.my-domain.de>”, where different rules use different terms instead of “charging_started”. This means, the reference is not completely dynamic in my case.

I am not 100% aware of the actual rules for such reference, but it seems mail programs do not check too much on that besides the formal “<”, “>” and “@”. To be on the save side you should avoid spaces or special characters…

Internet protocol formats are well document and their spec is available in RFC documents.
In this case you may have a look at RFC 5322 - Internet Message Format to check what is defined resp. recommended.

Well hello thank you but trying i get warnings like missing ) missing " i also read the other comment but if a real example would be nice like Wich i think it should be something like this

mailActions.addHeader("Reference", "<110 111 116 105 102 105 99 97 116 105 111 110 95 49>")

Thing is no matter what I put there it still gets grouped by anyways maybe i don’t get it

Did you put in the numbers by intent or did you put in notification_1 ?

I just put <notification_1>. Example of my rule

rule "Send email with custom header"
when
    // Trigger the rule when some event occurs
    // For example: Item SomeItem received update
then
    // Get the email actions for the specified SMTP server
    val mailActions = getActions("mail", "mail:smtp:sampleserver")

    // Add the custom "Reference" header
    mailActions.addHeader("Reference", "<notification_1>")

    // Send the email message
    mailActions.sendMail("mail@example.com", "Test Subject", "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.")

    // Log a message to indicate that the email was sent
    logInfo("Email", "Email sent with custom header")
end
