Re: No easy way to join discussion in existing thread when not subscribed

Magnus,

Please, see attached patch adding a "whole thread[as mbox] link"
to pgarchives, by popular request upthread.

It checks hiddenstatus, but does materialize the entire raw thread
in memory (including attachments) to form the response, which
is unbounded in principle and can be sizable in practice.

Perhaps django can do streaming requests, so we can bound
the memory usage + timeout. It's been a while.

If you'd like changes (hard limits, strip attachments, etc'),
do let me know.

I'd be glad to help with the bugtracker too, if things have converged,
I haven't followed that thread closely.


Cheers,

p.s.

The web archives already support a single-message mbox download.
It's the "raw" view. I didn't realize and... *neither did any of you*
