Replying on the same thread in a mailing list using git send-email

Question

I had submitted a patch to an organisation’s mailing list and now need to send a revised version of the patch on the same thread using git send-email. I have set my chainreplyto value to false. I had tried this earlier:

git send-email --no-chain-reply-to [email protected] \
--in-reply-to='[org-devel] [PATCH] Added functionality' Added-functionality.patch

This is creating a new thread instead of replying to the already existing one. What would be the correct way of replying?

Answer 1

Use Message-id instead of the subject in the --in-reply-to option.

--in-reply-to=<Message-id>

You can find the Message-Id value in the header of the message you want to reply to.
