GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 794474
Headers in forwarded message credits in opposite order (HTML)
Last modified: 2018-04-05 11:34:03 UTC
I'm using Evolution 26.5 with EWS account (Office 365). I'm using Outlook style, inline forwards, etc. When I reply or forward a message, this is what happens: =============QUOTE============= cursor -------- Forwarded Message -------- Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 08:23:56 +0400 Subject: abcd Cc: abcd To: abcd From: Emre <emre@emre> TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT =============/QUOTE============ Problems: 1) There's an empty line between ---Forwarded Message--- line and Date header. 2) There's no empty line between From: and the forwarded/replied message body TEXT. This reduces readability for the people who receive my email. 3) The order of headers in replied/forwarded message is wrong. The correct order shall be From: Date: (outlook calls this "Sent:" by the way) To: Cc: Subject: Importance: to match how Outlook does things.
> Problems: > 1) There's an empty line between ---Forwarded Message--- line and Date > header. Cannot reproduce in 3.26.5 on a normal (non EWS) account. No empty lines are inserted at the top, using "Message > Forward As > Inline". Edit > Preferences > Composer Preferences > > 2) There's no empty line between From: and the forwarded/replied message > body TEXT. Cannot reproduce in 3.26.5 on a normal (non EWS) account. I have an empty line in plain text mode.
Interesting. My composer preferences, mentioning only enabled ones: Format Messages in HTML Encode Filenames in Outlook/Gmail way Send mesages through Outbox (send immediately) Number of Characters for word wrapping: 71 Character Encoding: UTF8 Reply Style: Outlook Style Inline Forward Style: Inline Keep signature above the original message Include Signature in new messages only Wrap Quoted text in replies
Thanks for a bug report. It does that only when composing in HTML format. It works fine in Plain text. This is related to bug #777373, where I might miss something.
There is much more fun here. When using Plain Text mode, the headers are correct without any code change, but wrong in HTML mode. When I partially revert the change from the other bug I get Plain Text mode broken, but HTML code correct.
Created commit 7de2691485 in evo master (3.29.1+) Created commit 375bac42cc in evo gnome-3-28 (3.28.1+)
Thanks Milan!
