Description Josh Triplett 2007-12-24 09:07:46 UTC
Please describe the problem:
HTML emails do not show image titles (<img title="..." ...>) in any
way.  evolution should ideally show the title as a tooltip, as seen in
browsers.

Discovered by viewing xkcd by way of rss2email and the atom feed.

(Originally reported as http://bugs.debian.org/451081 .)

Steps to reproduce:
View an HTML mail which contains an <img> tag with a title attribute.

Actual results:
The title does not appear, either in the mail or as a tooltip on the image.

Expected results:
The title should appear, ideally as a tooltip on the image.  (Also, evolution should avoid making the same mistake Firefox did: the tooltip needs to word-wrap, and not cut off after a fixed number of characters.  Some sites use very long title text.)

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I don't know whether this bug lies in Evolution's filtering of HTML mail or in the HTML rendering engine.  I guessed the former, and thus reported the bug against evolution.

Needs retesting in 3.5/3.6 with evolution[webkit].

Josh: Do you have a test HTML email to attach here?

I agree with Andre, the webkit for preview panel would solve this for free.
