Couple of questions

[lobokn]

Hi all,
I have couple of questions.
The first is:
I can’t open some kind attachments directly from EMAIL. Instead of I got black screen with crossed red circle in the middle
and three white icons in right upper corner (save,full screen,close). For example (avi,mp3,mp4) or pdf (pictures scanned to pdf).
When I saved them I can open it without problem. Plain pdf, doc, xls works OK. Does anyone of you have or had the same trouble and solved it ? Or can point me the right direction how to solve it? I tried it in chrome and firefox and had same result.

The second:
Is there any way how can I be notified (change number in of massages in INBOX) immediately after new incoming mail arrived ?
I mean without my interaction (clicking on INBOX and so on).

Third:
When I deleted e-mail, I always have to click on the next one to see it in the preview. Is there any setting that automatically enable to see the next message in the row. (without clicking it) ?

Thanks for any answer that solve any of my problem and of cause thanks developers for their work.

Hi Lubos,

and three white icons in right upper corner (save,full screen,close). For
example (avi,mp3,mp4) or pdf (pictures scanned to pdf).

You can force a download of eg. images or pdf, by clicking on the disc icon.

I came across the pdf opens in expose view problem yesterday: it is
caused by wrong mime type image/pdf for a pdf, which should by
application/pdf. Some scanners / fax seem to create such mails. Hope to
find the time to fix that today.

The second:
Is there any way how can I be notified (change number in of massages in
INBOX) immediately after new incoming mail arrived ?
I mean without my interaction (clicking on INBOX and so on).
Edit your email account, go to folders and add INBOX or maybe more
folders to " Notify about new mail in this folders".
Third:
When I deleted e-mail, I always have to click on the next one to see it in
the preview. Is there any setting that automatically enable to see the next
message in the row. (without clicking it) ?
We explicitly dont do that, because it would mark the next mail as seen.

I think both behaviors have their benefits …

Thanks for any answer that solve any of my problem and of cause thanks
developers for their work.
About not answering sooner: your chances of getting an answer are higher
if you ask one questions at a time.
If I see a lists of questions, I usually think I dont have the time
right now, do it sometime later …

Hi, Ralf
I understand that you are mostly out of time.
And I am glad, that you finally found some for my questions.
So thank you for your reply. And what about the multimedia
files (avi,mp3,mp4) I asked in my first ?

Hi Luboš,

files (avi,mp3,mp4) I asked in my first ?
Crossed red circle is shown, if:
a) trying to load video gives an http status of 404 Not Found or
b) expose does not support that mime type

Case a) can easily identified in network tab of browser for b) I would
need to know the mime types, so we can blacklist them to get an
immediate download. It could also be, as I described it with the pdf,
that they have a wrong mime-type …

Hi Ralf,

the mime types of multimedia files I tried open directly from
e-mail are video/x-msvideo, audio/mpeg, video/mp4, application/mp4.

I have one more question about wrapping text in email application.
When I am sending e-mail in HTML mode all text remain as I write.
But when I am sending the same e-mail in plain text, the content is
wrapped to more lines then I initially wrote.
Are there any definition or rules for wrapping message content when sending
in plain text mode? For example number of characters on one single line.
Or how does it work ?

Thanks

Hi Luboš,

Hi Ralf,

the mime types of multimedia files I tried open directly from
e-mail are video/x-msvideo, audio/mpeg, video/mp4, application/mp4.
AFAIK we use expose for image/, video/ and audio/* and do an immediate
download, if no special handler is registered for other types (eg.
application/pdf has a handler to display it in a popup).

Expose will display images immediately, for video and audio it will only
show a play button.
But expose or your browser does not know how to display certain
image/video/audio mime-type eg. image/tiff or probably video/x-msvideo,
you mentioned.

We could now implement a blacklist (I think we already did that for
image/tiff) for mime-types not to use expose for, or if possible ask the
browser if he can display such content (IE on Windows might display
video/x-msvideo, while Safari might not).

I CC’ed Hadi to discuss that further.

Honestly I don’t know what we implemented in that regard. I CC’ed Klaus
to answer that.

There’s rfc3676 we could implement (eg. via Horde Text/Flowed) allowing
to send and correctly display “text/plain format=flowed” mails with free
flowing lines …

mostly we do our “own” linebreaking when sending mails
this is however something that evolved over time.
Not a must. I will check if said horde extension is
a solution and how and where to use it.
