Revision as of 14:54, 13 March 2005
The things that always bug me about TB are mostly bugs that have been around for a long time, back to early suite development, with little attention. In particular, I see a lot of mail composition bugs, especially around HTML and also format=flowed. Part of the problem, I assume, is that the editor code is all gnarly and nobody currently active on the project wants to get that deep into it.
These are some that I think really ought to be given attention:
Mail Editing bugs
Bug 125928: HTML compose, converted to plain text for sending, is marked as format=flowed but is not processed like plain text is for f=f, resulting in badly formatted mail
Bug 155622 and Bug 220575: Plain Text compose: When you open a saved draft, or Edit <msg> As New (155622), or select Edit | Rewrap (220575), all the flow information is discarded, so the end of every visible line has a hard line break. Restoring all that information is tedious and error-prone.
Bug 187997: Rewrap doesn't work on selected (plain) text; it joins lines incorrectly and puts quote marks (>) in the middle of lines.
Bug 249082: Rewrap behavior in an HTML message is just wrong; it either does nothing to, or completely breaks, quoted text. (It has essentially no effect on the user text, which is as expected, and as it should work for plain text.)
