Tasks created through ManiphestReplyHandler::receiveEmail no longer send emails to subscribers
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Expected

  1. I create a maniphest task by sending an email to our maniphest server
  2. I cc jane@company.com in this email - this is the email address that jane uses to log into phabricator
  3. jane gets this email (because she is cc'ed) *and* she gets an email from maniphest saying that the task was created

Actual

  1. Jane does not get an email from maniphest about the task creation

Discussion

"Expected" is how it worked a few months ago. It seems that this was an intentional change or a regression.

Its possible that Maniphest wasn't working correctly for a time and started working correctly when we finished some infrastructure clean up. This would be more like 6+ months ago in terms of timeframe.

I think we should possibly make an exception for creating objects -- for normal replies on existing objects you get two copies of basically the same mail, but for creating objects you're losing out on the link to the created object. But we're going to hit this again soon in Calendar and can take another look at it then.
