Quoted Reply with Template
Last modified: 2018-11-09 09:36:16 UTC
Hi, I'm trying to use evolution templates when I reply to an email, but I can't get the original body text to be properly quoted. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using evolution 3.12.11. I would like to have it look like this: my template text on top On date Evan wrote: > quoted original line 1 > quoted original line 2 I've tried using template variable substitution with the following template: my template text on top On $ORIG[date] $ORIG[from] wrote: > $ORIG[body] But that template only quotes the first line of the original body, so I end up with something like my template text on top On date Evan wrote: > quoted original line 1 quoted original line 2 <-- not actually quoted It would be nice to have a way to quote the whole original body text in a template. Or to be able to insert the template above the normal generated reply text. See also https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2016-August/msg00001.html Best Regards, Evan
Thanks for a bug report. I made it work by adding two new variables: $ORIG[reply-credits] $ORIG[quoted-body] It's split, because it is how it is in the code and because, sometimes, one might not necessarily need the original reply credits, thus it allows a bit more customization. Created commit 49aa88030a in evo master (3.31.2+)
