Say we compose a message like this:
This is composed text #1.
This is quoted text #1.
This is composed text #2.
This is quoted text #2.
This is quoted text #3.
This is quoted text #4.
This is quoted text #5.
This is quoted text #6.
This is composed text #3.
This is quoted text #7.
This is quoted text #8.
This is quoted text #9.
This is quoted text #10.
Then we save it as draft and exit the message.
Later on, we edit the draft. The message body is now loaded like this:
This is composed text #1.
This is quoted text #1.
This is composed text #2.
This is quoted text #2.
This is quoted text #3.
This is quoted text #4.
This is quoted text #5.
This is quoted text #6.
This is composed text #3.
This is quoted text #7.
This is quoted text #8.
This is quoted text #9.
This is quoted text #10.
Result: The (blank) quoted lines between...
This is quoted text #4.
This is quoted text #5.
...and...
This is quoted text #8.
This is quoted text #9.
...have been deleted due to some odd reason.
Environment and relevant config settings:
IE8, Win7/64, "$rcmail_config['line_length'] = 76;", "$rcmail_config['send_format_flowed'] = false;"
Things to be noted:
- All quote chars ">" have a trailing white space on all quoted lines
(i.e. also on all blank quoted lines) during composing. Even if I delete those trailing blanks on all blank quoted lines during composing, they apparently get re-inserted upon saving the draft (I verified that by saving the draft message to disk and looking at it with a hex editor), so the result is the same when I edit the message again later on.
- Draft messages are saved as "format=flowed" since Nov 19th 2012, no
matter what. This is intentional and should not be re-changed again. Thomas committed this change upon my request here: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/commit/ac382e114570537e038eca79d2... See also: http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1488799 I'm not sure if the behaviour described above is connected to this commit, at least in 0.8.4 the behaviour is the same when I load the message which has been saved as draft with 0.9-git.
But I assume that this all does have to do with the format=flowed thingy in some way. I may be wrong, of course.
Ticket required...?
