@ -43,6 +43,27 @@ The most useful header for routing is generally `X-Phabricator-Stamps`. This
is a list of attributes which describe the object the mail is about and the
actions which the mail informs you about.
Stamps and Gmail
================
If you use a client which can not perform header matching (like Gmail), you can
change the {nav Settings > Email Format > Send Stamps} setting to include the
stamps in the mail body and then match them with body rules.
When writing filter rules against mail stamps in Gmail, you should quote any
filters you want to apply. For example, specify rules like this, with quotes:
> "author(@alice)"
Note that Gmail will ignore some symbols when matching mail against filtering
rules, so you can get false positives if the body of the message includes text
like `author alice` (the same words in the same order, without the special
symbols).
You'll also get false positives if the message body includes the text of a
mail stamp explicitly in a normal text field like a summary, description, or
comment.
There's no way to avoid these false positives other than using a different
client with support for more powerful filtering rules, but these false
positives should normally be uncommon.
