User description

Fix Outlook reply threading by setting proper email headers.

TLDR: Microsoft Graph API ignores conversationId when sending emails. This PR adds In-Reply-To and References headers so Microsoft properly threads replies.

  • Add internetMessageHeaders to sendEmailWithHtml with In-Reply-To and References headers
  • Microsoft uses these headers (not conversationId) to determine thread membership
  • This was causing replies to get different threadId values, breaking:
    • Draft cleanup (couldn't find ExecutedAction by threadId)
    • ThreadTracker resolution
    • DraftSendLog creation
  • Fix outbound-tracking test to check the original tracker by ID after reply
  • Previously used findFirst which could return a newly created AWAITING_REPLY tracker

Improves Outlook email threading within the inbox-zero-ai system by implementing RFC 5322 compliant In-Reply-To and References headers, utilizing the createReply API for Outlook and refining ThreadTracker test verification. Ensures replies are correctly grouped into conversations, which is crucial for automated email classification and streamlining responses.

This pull request is reviewed by Baz. Review like a pro on (Baz).

Microsoft Graph API ignores the conversationId field when sending emails.
Instead, it uses In-Reply-To and References headers to determine thread
membership. This was causing replies to be assigned different threadIds,
breaking draft cleanup, ThreadTracker resolution, and other reply tracking.

Also fixes outbound-tracking test to check the original tracker by ID
instead of using findFirst which could return a newly created tracker.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Capture the pre-reply ThreadTracker ID and assert that that exact tracker is resolved after reply. Add a threading header builder and propagate RFC‑5322 In-Reply‑To/References into Gmail and Outlook reply flows; Outlook reply path now uses createReply → update → send.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
E2E test - outbound tracking
apps/web/__tests__/e2e/flows/outbound-tracking.test.ts
Capture trackerBeforeReply by filtering resolved: false, store originalTrackerId, and verify that this specific tracker is resolved after sending the reply; update logs to reference the original tracker.
Threading utility & tests
apps/web/utils/email/threading.ts, apps/web/utils/email/threading.test.ts
Add buildThreadingHeaders(options) to produce RFC‑5322 In-Reply-To and References; unit tests cover empty/falsy headerMessageId, references concatenation, trimming, and edge cases.
Outlook mail utility
apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts
Remove conversationId? and isDraft? from OutlookMessageRequest; introduce createReply-based reply flow (/me/messages/{id}/createReply → update draft → send) via sendReplyUsingCreateReply; adjust returned id/conversation handling and threading headers; remove previous reliance on conversationId for threading.
Gmail mail utility
apps/web/utils/gmail/mail.ts
Add replyToEmail.messageId?: string and use buildThreadingHeaders({ headerMessageId, references }) to populate raw message threading headers instead of manual assembly.
Email types & e2e helper
apps/web/utils/email/types.ts, apps/web/__tests__/e2e/flows/helpers/email.ts
Add optional platform-specific messageId?: string to replyToEmail type; include messageId: originalMessageId in test helper sendTestReply payload to propagate platform message ID for reply flows.

61-83: Consider guarding conversationId assignment.

Line 62 may set conversationId to undefined if body.replyToEmail.threadId is undefined, since the condition on line 61 only checks for the existence of body.replyToEmail. While conversationId is optional in the interface, explicitly setting it to undefined might not be necessary.

The header-based threading logic (lines 64-82) correctly implements RFC 5322 standards:

  • In-Reply-To contains the immediate parent's Message-ID
  • References combines existing references with the headerMessageId
♻️ Optional: Guard conversationId assignment
  if (body.replyToEmail) {
-   message.conversationId = body.replyToEmail.threadId;
+   if (body.replyToEmail.threadId) {
+     message.conversationId = body.replyToEmail.threadId;
+   }

    // Set In-Reply-To and References headers for proper threading

229-246: LGTM! Improved tracker verification logic.

The addition of the resolved: false filter and capturing the specific tracker ID before sending the reply correctly addresses the issue described in the PR. By storing originalTrackerId, the test can later verify that this specific tracker gets resolved, avoiding false positives from newly created AWAITING_REPLY trackers.


269-283: LGTM! Correct verification of the original tracker.

The switch from findFirst to findUnique with the specific originalTrackerId is the correct approach. This ensures the test verifies that the original tracker is resolved, even if a new AWAITING_REPLY tracker is created after the reply is sent. The explanatory comment on lines 270-271 clearly documents why this approach is necessary.

apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts (2)

30-30: LGTM! Correct type definition for internet message headers.

The optional internetMessageHeaders field is correctly typed to match the Microsoft Graph API's Message interface structure.


96-96: LGTM! Comment accurately reflects the threading mechanism.

The updated comment correctly documents that thread continuity is maintained through In-Reply-To/References headers rather than just conversationId.

The code has been reverted - we're now using the original if (body.replyToEmail?.threadId) guard, so this concern no longer applies.

Commit 19c22fd addressed this comment by completely removing the problematic code block (lines 62-77 in the old code). The entire manual threading logic, including the concerning if (body.replyToEmail) condition and the message.conversationId = body.replyToEmail.threadId; assignment, has been deleted. The code now uses Microsoft Graph's native createReply API for proper threading instead of manually setting conversationId and headers.

30-30: LGTM!

The internetMessageHeaders field addition correctly matches the Microsoft Graph API's message type and supports the PR's objective of enabling header-based threading.


61-72: LGTM!

The implementation correctly sets both conversationId and threading headers when replying to an email. The conditional check ensures headers are only added when headerMessageId is available.


85-85: LGTM!

The updated comment correctly explains the threading mechanism and provides valuable context about Microsoft Graph's behavior.


113-136: LGTM!

The implementation correctly extracts the headerMessageId and conditionally adds threading headers to maintain proper email thread continuity.

Comment on lines 356 to 374
function buildReplyHeaders(options: {
headerMessageId: string;
references?: string;
}): { name: string; value: string }[] {
const headers: { name: string; value: string }[] = [];

if (options.headerMessageId) {
headers.push({
name: "In-Reply-To",
value: options.headerMessageId,
});
headers.push({
name: "References",
value: options.references || options.headerMessageId,
});
}

return headers;

Could this helper simply return early when there is no headerMessageId and emit a literal array instead of pushing into headers? Something like:

if (!options.headerMessageId) {
  return [];
}
return [
  { name: "In-Reply-To", value: options.headerMessageId },
  { name: "References", value: options.references ?? options.headerMessageId },
];

This keeps the helper short and swaps the || fallback for ??, so an intentional empty references value isn't overwritten.

Prompt for AI Agents:

In apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts around lines 356-374, the buildReplyHeaders function
builds headers by pushing into an array and uses || for the references fallback.
Refactor by returning early when options.headerMessageId is falsy (return []), and when
present return a literal array: [{ name: 'In-Reply-To', value: options.headerMessageId
}, { name: 'References', value: options.references ?? options.headerMessageId }].
Replace the || fallback with ?? so an explicit empty references value is preserved.

Commit c0b0aa4 addressed this comment by removing the buildReplyHeaders function entirely and replacing it with a shared utility buildThreadingHeaders imported from @/utils/email/threading. This approach addresses the conciseness concern by moving the logic to a reusable module, and the problematic code with the || fallback no longer exists in this file.

Done. Refactored to a shared buildThreadingHeaders() helper in utils/email/threading.ts that's now used by both Gmail and Outlook. The helper is much simpler and returns early when no headerMessageId is provided.

Repository owner deleted a comment from coderabbitai bot Jan 11, 2026
- Create buildThreadingHeaders() in utils/email/threading.ts
- Fix RFC 5322 compliance: References now appends headerMessageId to existing refs
- Update Outlook to use shared helper instead of local buildReplyHeaders
- Update Gmail to use shared helper instead of inline logic
- Add unit tests for threading header construction

94-102: Avoid emitting empty In-Reply-To / References headers on non-replies.
Right now buildThreadingHeaders({ headerMessageId: replyToEmail?.headerMessageId || "" }) returns empty strings when there’s no reply target, and those may end up serialized as blank headers. Prefer only setting these fields when headerMessageId is present.

Proposed fix
-    // https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2822#appendix-A.2
-    ...buildThreadingHeaders({
-      headerMessageId: replyToEmail?.headerMessageId || "",
-      references: replyToEmail?.references,
-    }),
+    // https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2822#appendix-A.2
+    ...(replyToEmail?.headerMessageId
+      ? buildThreadingHeaders({
+          headerMessageId: replyToEmail.headerMessageId,
+          references: replyToEmail.references,
+        })
+      : {}),
🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In @apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts:
- Around line 62-77: The current code in mail.ts sets message.conversationId and
populates message.internetMessageHeaders with standard RFC-5322 headers via
buildThreadingHeaders (using body.replyToEmail.headerMessageId and references),
but Graph /me/sendMail will ignore conversationId and reject/ignore standard
headers like "In-Reply-To"/"References"; instead, remove setting
message.conversationId and stop injecting those standard headers into
message.internetMessageHeaders, and switch to using the Graph reply/createReply
APIs (e.g., call the message reply endpoint for the existing thread/message id
from body.replyToEmail.threadId or headerMessageId) or send raw MIME via the
sendMail MIME option to preserve threading; update the logic in the block that
checks body.replyToEmail and the code paths that call sendMail to use the
reply/createReply or raw MIME flow rather than setting internetMessageHeaders.
🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
apps/web/utils/email/threading.test.ts (1)

10-15: Avoid undefined as unknown as string in the test; prefer typing the API to match usage.
Consider changing buildThreadingHeaders to accept headerMessageId?: string | null (and treat missing as “no headers”), then this test can pass undefined without casting (or just remove this test since the empty-string case already covers “no headers”).

apps/web/utils/email/threading.ts (1)

6-19: Prefer returning “no fields” over empty strings to prevent blank header emission.
Given usage via object spread, it’d be safer if “no headerMessageId” returned {} (and the return type used optional fields), rather than { inReplyTo: "", references: "" }. This also lets call sites pass replyToEmail?.headerMessageId without || "".

Possible refactor
-export function buildThreadingHeaders(options: {
-  headerMessageId: string;
-  references?: string;
-}): { inReplyTo: string; references: string } {
-  if (!options.headerMessageId) {
-    return { inReplyTo: "", references: "" };
-  }
+export function buildThreadingHeaders(options: {
+  headerMessageId?: string | null;
+  references?: string;
+}): { inReplyTo?: string; references?: string } {
+  if (!options.headerMessageId) return {};

   return {
     inReplyTo: options.headerMessageId,
     references: options.references
       ? `${options.references} ${options.headerMessageId}`.trim()
       : options.headerMessageId,
   };
 }
apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts (1)

118-147: Optional: avoid the IIFE; compute headers once and assign directly.
Makes the reply payload construction easier to scan/debug without changing behavior.

It reads as RFC 5322 but links to RFC 2822; should the referenced RFC number match the URL to avoid confusion?

The new code in sendEmailWithHtml attaches In-Reply-To/References via internetMessageHeaders when replying, but Microsoft Graph only lets you set custom (typically X-) headers through that field; standard RFC headers such as In-Reply-To/References are ignored/stripped by the service when you POST /me/sendMail (see graph/outlook-send-mime-message docs). As a result the intended threading fix never reaches Outlook, and the change has no effect.

Prompt for AI Agents:

In apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts around lines 62-75, the sendEmailWithHtml function
sets In-Reply-To/References by writing them into message.internetMessageHeaders, but
Microsoft Graph strips standard RFC headers on POST /me/sendMail so those headers never
reach Outlook. Remove the code that assigns In-Reply-To/References to
internetMessageHeaders, replace it with a short comment explaining that Graph strips
standard headers and that conversationId is the only reliable field here, and add a TODO
(or a logged warning) directing implementers to use an alternative delivery method (send
raw MIME via the Graph endpoint or SMTP) if true In-Reply-To/References header
preservation is required. Keep the conversationId assignment intact. Ensure the change
is limited to lines 62-75 and update tests/comments accordingly.

Commit 19c22fd addressed this comment by completely removing the problematic internetMessageHeaders code (lines 62-77) that attempted to set In-Reply-To/References headers. Instead of just documenting the limitation as suggested, the code was refactored to use Microsoft Graph's createReply endpoint, which properly handles email threading without requiring manual header manipulation. Comments were added explaining that "Microsoft Graph's sendMail doesn't support In-Reply-To/References headers" and that "Only createReply/createReplyAll endpoints ensure proper threading."

Microsoft Graph's sendMail endpoint doesn't support In-Reply-To/References
headers via internetMessageHeaders. Refactored to use createReply + send
pattern which properly handles threading.

- Refactor replyToEmail to use createReply + update + send
- Refactor sendEmailWithHtml to use createReply when messageId provided
- Add messageId field to SendEmailBody.replyToEmail type
- Remove unused threading header code from Outlook

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts (2)

102-124: Consider explicit subject handling for consistency.

The refactored replyToEmail relies on the createReply endpoint's default subject handling (typically "Re: " prefix) rather than explicitly setting the subject. While this works for standard replies, it may limit flexibility if custom subjects are needed in the future.

Optional: Add explicit subject handling
  // Update the draft with our content
  await withOutlookRetry(
    () =>
      client
        .getClient()
        .api(`/me/messages/${replyDraft.id}`)
        .patch({
+         subject: message.headers.subject?.startsWith("Re:")
+           ? message.headers.subject
+           : `Re: ${message.headers.subject}`,
          body: {
            contentType: "html",
            content: html,
          },
        }),
    logger,
  );

341-391: Avoid non-null assertions per coding guidelines.

Line 346 uses non-null assertions (body.replyToEmail!.messageId!), which violates the coding guideline: "Don't use non-null assertions with the ! postfix operator."

♻️ Safer destructuring approach
 async function sendReplyUsingCreateReply(
   client: OutlookClient,
   body: SendEmailBody,
   logger: Logger,
 ): Promise<SentEmailResult> {
-  const originalMessageId = body.replyToEmail!.messageId!;
+  const originalMessageId = body.replyToEmail?.messageId;
+  if (!originalMessageId) {
+    throw new Error("messageId is required for createReply flow");
+  }

   // Use createReply to create a properly threaded draft
   const replyDraft: Message = await withOutlookRetry(

As per coding guidelines.

94-94: LGTM - Clear enhancement for Outlook threading support.

The addition of messageId to the replyToEmail payload enables proper threading via Outlook's createReply API. The inline comment clearly documents the purpose.

apps/web/utils/outlook/mail.ts (1)

39-43: LGTM - Proper routing for reply threading.

The branching logic correctly identifies replies by checking for body.replyToEmail?.messageId and routes them through the createReply flow, which ensures proper threading in Outlook.

apps/web/utils/email/types.ts (1)

130-130: LGTM - Well-documented type extension.

The addition of the optional messageId field to replyToEmail enables platform-specific threading for Outlook's createReply API while maintaining backward compatibility. The inline comment clearly documents its purpose.

Address the interface contract violation for Outlook's empty messageId/threadId returns.

The Outlook sendEmailWithHtml function returns empty string for messageId and threadId because Microsoft Graph's sendMail endpoint returns 202 with no body. This violates the interface contract that specifies both as non-empty strings. While the returned values aren't currently used for persistence, this inconsistency with Gmail's implementation could cause silent failures in future code that depends on these IDs.

Consider either:

  • Making messageId and threadId optional in the return type to reflect Outlook's limitations
  • Or exploring alternative approaches (e.g., polling the sent items folder to retrieve the sent message ID after send completes)

Addressed - returning empty id (Graph limitation) while preserving conversationId/threadId. The interface allows empty strings which is acceptable for Outlook.

Commit b141df2 addressed this comment by improving the handling of Outlook's empty ID limitation. The code now attempts to preserve conversationId by using body.replyToEmail?.threadId instead of returning undefined, and fixes bugs where invalid draft IDs were being returned after send operations. While the interface contract still allows empty strings (rather than making fields optional as suggested), the implementation is now more correct and better documented with explanatory comments about Graph API limitations.
