Hi Benny,
I'm not sure what version this changed in, but MailMate used
to,
- when viewing an email with another email message attached
(actual attached eml file);
- would display that attached email at the end of the enclosing
email; and
- when displaying that attached email, would show it in a box
with a coloured background.
This used to work for me with both plain text and HTML emails,
but now only works for plain text emails (or if I check the
preference for Prefer plain text. (Using v1.12.5
(5635))
I'm not sure if the change is intentional (couldn't see anything
in the release notes), but I think the old behaviour is better
as,
- it provides visual indication that there is an attached email
message; and
- it allows the attached email message to be context-clicked and
dealt with (open/detach/etc). With the new behaviour, context
clicking doesn't bring up a menu.
A helpful alternative would be to show the attached email
message as an attachment in the attachments table like any other
type of file. I think this has merit even with the return of the
old display behaviour as sometimes people will attached multiple
long emails, and to deal with each of the attached emails, one has
to manually scroll through to find the break in the blocks.
In case its not clear email display part I'm looking at, I think
it is the part that is styled by the following CSS
/* Attached messages are indented and given a frame and background color */
div.bodypart[type=message][subtype=rfc822] {
margin-left: 20px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #FDF5E6;
border: thin solid gray;
}
Cheers,
Yen
