Hi Michael,
Zitat von Michael M Slusarz <slus...@horde.org>
Quoting Jens-Uwe Mozdzen <jmozd...@nde.ag>:
Hi *,
from time to time I receive emails where the preview pane shows
"there are no message parts that can be displayed directly" (or
similar, my locale in non-english) and the details pane above shows
no message parts.
The emails do have an HTML part in addition to the plain text part,
which is shown when I select "more functions"->"all parts": The
details pane then displays a tree with the root member "Alternative"
with two sub-elements (plain text icon and HTML icon).
[...]
This is the correct behavior.
You have indicated that you can't display HTML parts (by your config),
so that part is not available.
And alternative parts by definition should only ever show a single
part - you should not be given a choice between which representation
to view. That's the whole point of multipart/alternative.
Put another way: you should never know you are looking at an
alternative part.
thank you for that clarification. I noticed that other mails,
seemingly of the same nature, have no declaration of "alternative
parts", but rather are simply declared as "mixed" or have no text part
at all, leading to the button to display the HTML version.
Do you think it'd be a useful enhancement to treat "empty"
(white-space only) parts as not existent, so that in the semantically
malformed, but still typical case of "alternative" with non-empty
HTML, but empty text-only part, the user receives an indication of the
HTML part even if (s)he chose to only display text parts by default?
Regards,
Jens
