Generalize List-Id regex about afew HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for digging up the relevant information from the RFCs. Does the new regular expression match your list ids?

from afew.

Yes. Thanks teythoon. Its match every list id that I had problems.

from afew.

You are welcome :)

I had to revert the regexp =((( It did not work on the List-Ids as defined by debian (majordomo mailing lists.
Although the RFC is probably correct, I'd rather it be usable against 'mailing lists in the wild'

List-Id: <debian-devel.lists.debian.org>

Please reopen this bug. Can we match both 'compliant' and previous 'non-compliant' regexp?

from afew.

@xnox: I'm subscribed to several debian mailing lists and they are working just fine. In fact I just checked that the regular expression used in the list filter matches:

% python -c 'import re; print(re.compile(r"<(?P<list_id>[a-z0-9!#$%&'"'"'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)\.", re.I).search("List-Id: <debian-devel.lists.debian.org>").group("list_id"))'
