GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 788637
parts of multipart/digest message do not expand when clicked upon
Last modified: 2018-04-11 06:50:13 UTC
I have just installed Geary 0.12 fom PPA on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, and now when i receive multipart digests from a mailing list i cannot view its parts because they do not expand when i click on them.
I have the same issue, but I'm reasonable sure I also had it in Geary 0.11. In case it is any help, I have included some screenshots of the issue, as well as the source of an example email. The message source: https://nl-next.owncube.com/index.php/s/Nm2umsJu2gRrKG0 Screenshot of the message in Geary: https://nl-next.owncube.com/index.php/s/TbqyxpyL1cJ1khe (None of the sub-messages open when clicked upon.) Screenshot of the message in Thunderbird (showing the sub-messages missing in Geary): https://nl-next.owncube.com/index.php/s/cgZIJLSAAb2jn7A
Hey people, thanks for the bug report. I just pushed a fix for this as commit 301ffa6 to master and commit to geary-0.12, so will be in 0.12.1 when that is released. The original intention was that any attached messages should be expanded when the "parent" email is expanded, and this fix actually makes that happen, so I'm going to close this bug as fixed. This behaviour is a bit different from clicking on the attached message's headers to expand/collapse it separately from the parent message, however. If that's actually something you are looking for, can you please open a new enhancement bug since that will require some design work.
Hi Michael, thanks for your work and for the rapid response. Being able to collapse and expand parts of a multipart message was indeed a convenient feature in Geary 11, IMO. By the way, i have just noticed another issue: individual messages in a conversation sometimes do and sometimes do not collapse when i click on the headers. Should i make a separate report for this?
I have just installed Geary 0.12.1, and the behaviour now is strange: every second message in a digest is expanded and cannot be collapsed, and the others are collapsed and cannot be expanded. The odd ones are collapsed (if counting from 1), and the even ones are expanded.
Hmm, yeah I see what you mean. Okay, will have another look at it.
Followup fix pushed to master as commit 65f6c112, and geary-0.12 as commit 8fc474f3. This fixes the issue with e.g. mailman authorisation messages correctly displaying all three body parts for me. Please reopen if you have any additional issues with this though.
