Many times, when I then click the content button, I get this error:

[Image attachment referenced]

This looks like an unrelated issue? Please file a different issue and explain what is the "content button"

@GaboHBeaumont I can't reproduce this issue. Please explain how the notification is created where the issue exists
I guess its for discussions that were started on an older version of a document, and it takes you to that older version?

Linking Model in Seed

In Seed, this would ideally be structured as:

One email_thread document

Three linked email_message documents

Attachment as a linked document (if downloaded)

Cross-links to:

GitHub Issue #256 document (if mirrored)

Mentioned user document (GaboHBeaumont)

Repository document (seed-hypermedia/seed)

🧬 Provenance Strategy

For full traceability, each message document should include:

_source_email_file: original.eml
_source_message_id: <raw message-id header>
_source_import_timestamp: 2026-02-27TXX:XX:XXZ
_source_hash: sha256-of-eml

Each block can optionally include:

_source_block_offset: char-range

🏗 Recommended Production Structure (Cleaner Version)

Instead of storing all messages inside one doc, I recommend:

Email Thread Doc
 ├── Email Message Doc 1
 ├── Email Message Doc 2
 └── Email Message Doc 3

That way:

Each message has its own revision history

Replies can become new changes in the DAG

You can embed/query messages by thread_id

If you want, I can next give you:

A canonical frontmatter spec for Seed email archiving

A CLI import template for .eml → seed document create

Or a normalized “GitHub notification email schema” (since those are semi-structured and very automatable)
