I just realized that the whole thing is also related to the user config setting "Display HTML" in the "Displaying messages" section. If disabled, Roundcube DOES reply to the text/plain part (if at the same time "Compose HTML messages" is set to "Never").
Yes. This is by design. If you view the message as HTML we use the same part for response. It's because text and html part may differ.
Well, they HAVE to differ by definition, IMO. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to have a text/html and a text/plain part, if there would be nil difference.
But the text part of a HTML message is by far the better formatted and "quotable" part than the HTML part, being stripped and re-formatted by Roundcube or any other MUA. See the newsletter that I attached to my original post, the quote is just ridiculous.
I think it's better to use on reply the same part which was viewed.
And I think that the text/plain part is there for some reason: One of them being that it should be the one to be quoted if composing a text/plain reply. (The other one being that it can be viewed with MUAs not being HTML-capable.)
If "Display HTML" is disabled, I see the text/plain part. Optional, I can click on the "HTML message" link to display the text/html part. This is great, but:
a) If I click on the link "HTML message", the HTML message is (of course) being loaded, but along with all remote images without any warning (and although I didn't explicitely allow Roundcube to load those images). This is in contradiction to the situation when "Display HTML" is ENABLED, where those images are NOT loaded by default. So enabling this option is more secure than disabling it...?
This might be a bug. Create a ticket in our bugtracker.
Will do.
b) Vice versa ("Display HTML" being enabled) I do NOT get a link to display the text/plain part. But if this link would exist, THIS could do the trick with regards to if I will reply with a HTML or a plain text message (and which part of the message will be quoted). At least I should have the chance to VIEW the text/plain part, even if "Display HTML" is enabled.
I do not have a final concept at hand, but would you agree that some redesign is needed here...?
I agree, it would be good to have a html/text switching button in message preview pane. Would you like to work on a patch?
Absolutely! But...
Unfortunately I can't. As I said already in my original post (that part you didn't quote, not sure if you did read it):
If so, I'm happy to cooperate (I can just not code the stuff, but I may be able to work on the desired logic).
My PHP/js skills are close to zero, you should be grateful if I don't touch the Roundcube code at all. ;) And my BP skills wouldn't help here, I'm afraid.
So I'm totally dependent on you guys and can just propose sense-making suggestions here and there...
Anyway, thanks to the Roundcube dev team for the great job (some things need to be said sometimes)
