[templates] Using Message Template as a Reply strips images from new message
Last modified: 2009-10-23 20:30:45 UTC
Please describe the problem: After creating a template which has both text and image it is saved in the templates folder. Double clicking the template in this folder displays it correctly, as I designed it. However, when using the template as a reply, the image is stripped. Steps to reproduce: According to the evolution manual, instructions to use a template to reply to a message: 1) Right-click the message you are replying to, then click Templates. This option lists all the message templates in the Template folder. 2) Select Open the message template of your choice and make changes if required. 3) Click Send. Actual results: When I do this with my template, the text is shown from the template but not the image (company banner). The message is still formatted as HTML according to the Format toolbar. Double clicking the template in the templates folder displays the message correctly including the image. It's only when I try to use it as a reply that this problem occurs. This is probably why it went by undetected. Expected results: I had expected my template to appear in its entirety when replying to a message by choosing (RightClick->Templates) Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I tried creating a couple of templates and the problem recurred. I checked with the recipient of the mail just incase it was just a presentation error, but the mail did not contain the image.
This was/is a limitation of the original plugin and also present in the integrated one, confirming.
Created attachment 146130 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; This makes the exact copy of the template message and changes variables in all text/* parts if necessary.
Created commit a952dca in evo master (2.29.1+)
