There is currently this page [1] on the wiki that describes some of the ideas behind what people want in a mail plugin for Jenkins. We made the first step by pulling Mailer out into its own plugin, but now I'd like to revisit the idea of what plugin is bundled with Jenkins.
Based on the list of features on [1], I think email-ext is pretty close to what people are looking for, though it has some historic stuff that comes along with it that I don't necessarily like (Jelly templates, yuck!). I'm interested to get some feedback on whether I should continue spending my time on Extended Email (email-ext), or if there is real interest in having a new emailing plugin that would be bundled with core that provided more features than Mailer, but perhaps less out of the box than email-ext. Just as a check, here is what email-ext can do compared to the feature list on [1] The ability to include output from NCover, NDepend, other packages - nothing built-in, but doable Ability to configure an In-Reply-To option - not configurable, automatically set based on job status Ability to send email at any interim point within the build process - no, but doable Add the option of marking an email as urgent - no, but doable Support encrypted connection for SMTP - yes nicely formatted and customizable HTML/CSS report - yes Give the user the ability to manage subscriptions - no, but have feature request and am looking at it Environment variables as tokens - yes, using Token Macro Completely working support for ciManagement-Tag in POM - no, but doable Ability to send email when a specified numbe failed - not right now, easily added with NthFailTrigger Ability to use SetEnv variables - not sure how these are different from normal env variables Ability to modify recipient list before send - yes, pre-send script Support attachments - yes Multiconfiguration project - yes Let me know what feedback you have, and where you would like to see things going. Adding additional feature requests would be good too as there are things that I just never think of that might make the plugin better.
