Title: Newlines / wrapping doesn't work
Post by: sbreit on March 17, 2016, 02:51:19 pm
AquaMail Pro 1.6.1.4

I regularly receive long text-only mails (Logwatch output, to be precise). The whole mail consists of lines with a linefeed character (\n) at the end of the line. However, in some blocks of the mail, these characters are seemingly ignored, putting multi-line output into a single line. This happens to certain blocks of text, not to the whole mail, so I consider this a bug. (Also, I haven't found an option that would be able to toggle this behaviour).

I could provide the source of the mails affected if needed.

Cheers

Yes, post the email source please.

If I wanted to post it, I would have done so. I don't want to make this public.

However, I am happy to provide the mail, e.g. by PM.

Cheers

Settings - message view - wrap formatted text.
Try disabling this option.
It might help,  depending on how the text is done.

Trailing spaces, treated as soft breaks, according to "flowed" text standard.

In theory, the app should check if the MIME header has a "format=flowed", in practice, it's quite difficult, so the logic is used anyway.

Two ways to fix:

- App settings -> mail, other -> turn off "flowed text"

AND/OR

- Fix it in logwatch, no reason why those trailing spaces should be there at all
