In the mailing list archives look for subject: [hobbit] Ack Alerts via Email

and you'll find...

There's already a feature in Hobbit to accept ACKs via email:

Or did you mean something else??

Just thought I'd check back on this and surprised nobody had any thoughts
on it but also notice Henrik hasn't been around either.

Still have had no luck with this although I have not been able to spend
much time on it.

Still have the same problem of not being able to ack an alert via the email
body instead of the subject.

HI all

A LONG time ago I asked about ack'ing an alert via email (or via
sms-to-email) and to be able to do so without a subject. A patch was written
at the time and it was included into the main codebase but unfortunately I
did not get a chance to imeplement what I wanted to and never ended up
testing it. Thats has just changed recently and now I am having issues
acking an alert via text in the body.

If i reply to an email and maintain the subject it works fine, if I try
cut the subject and paste it as the body nothing happens. I havent gone as
far as testing it via the sms-to-email app yet as I cant get it working from
a normal email.

I still have one other potential problem of me converting the [] in the
alerts to () but thats more outbound sms and I can deal with it coming back
inwards.

Any suggestions appreciated

Allan
