Re: [Evolution] Mail forwarding

[James Finnall <James Finnall net>]

Version:  3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 

When I forward a message, all that gets brought over is the raw text. 
No links, embedded photos or anything html related.  

I used "View Source" on a message from this morning.  The references
were an offsite URL.  Like https://photos.google.com/share/........

There was also an Unsubscribe link that was an offsite URL as well. 
That gets removed.  A couple of images to Google Play and Apple App
Store were removed.  They were also offsite URL references.

Since the purpose of the message was to share a photo and all the parts
were removed, then forwarding becomes worthless because the important
parts are not there.

I did not attempt to use the "Attachment" mode.  I need to modify the
Subject line and attachment mode uses the Subject line for the name of
the attachment with no opportunity for me to edit it.  I was not able
to even open the attachment it created.  When I attempted to open the
attachment it ran something called "Account Wizard" and wanted to setup
a mailbox account in Thunderbird.

Thank you for your consideration.
James

        Hi,
do you mean HTML messages, which have inline photos, that is, the photo
is part of the received message? I do not see any problem with links
(maybe apart they can be wrapped in some cases). The inline images
sound familiar, maybe it had been fixed already, some time ago.
What is your Evolution version, please?
        Bye,
        Milan

P.S.: I ignore the later message from you with the same subject, it
looks similar, it is only in HTML, which is "less popular" on this
mailing list (try to avoid HTML messages here, please)
