GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 304106
Quoted reply to groupwise email removes newlines
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:04:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: When replying to a message from a groupwise user, the quoted reply shows each paragraph on it's own (quite long) line. This is different from the way the email is originally displayed in Evolution, and different from how the email looks as source. The content headers look like this: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Each line in original email is terminated with " =" and Evolution displays these lines word-wrapped to the edge of the mailer window. However, when quoted in a reply, all newlines are stripped and none are added. Steps to reproduce: 1. Reply to an email formatted as described above. Actual results: Horrible reply is generated with long vertical scrolling. Expected results: Standard reply. The paragraphs should be wrapped at 70 columns. Does this happen every time? Oh yes. Other information:
do you still this issue with 2.3.x?
Where can I get packages for 2.3.x to test?
xkahn, do you still see this with 2.4 or 2.5?
I'm afraid I no longer get mail from people using Groupwise. So I can't answer this question, and probably no longer care. I'll close the bug.
