---- Reported by adam@yorba.org 2012-03-17 10:29:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 4861 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4861 Searchable id: yorba-bug-4861 Original author: Adam Dingle Original description: If a plain text message in Geary contains one or more email addresses, Geary should notice those addresses and convert them to hyperlinks. If I click one of those links, Geary should open a Compose window that lets me compose email to that address. (Note that this already works in Geary for HTML messages whose senders have converted email addresses to mailto: links.)

There is a similar issue in the composer at #5781. #### #4 Updated by Robert Schroll 9 months ago The GMime.FilterHTML we're switching to in #5482 can do this, with the FILTER_HTML_CONVERT_ADDRESSES flag. Unfortunately, it's pretty broken before the recent 2.6.14 release. So when we can require GMime 2.6.14, this'll have an easy fix. Until then, we'll have to do it ourselves. --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:20 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 4861 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4861 Unknown version " in product geary.

Created attachment 288618 [details] [review] Enable GMime.FILTER_HTML_CONVERT_ADDRESSES This works every since 2.6.14, which was released in Febrary of last year. I'd hope that everyone who has GTK 3.10 also has GMime 2.6.14 or higher. I've upped the GMime requirements, but I don't know if that's really necessary. Previous versions will work, but email addresses won't be properly linkified. Arguably that's better than not being allowed to compile it.
Review of attachment 288618 [details] [review]: Let's bump the version number as you suggest. It will burn us if someone complains a year from now about a link not being converted only to discover after much hairpulling that they're using an old version of GMime. Commit!
