Position of signature is not as in primary identity #8

Closed knilde closed 2 years ago

knilde commented 2 years ago

Hello,

seems to me that the signature of automatically created identities are not correctly taken from the primary identity.

My setting in primary identity is grafik

Translation of the red marked setting is: Place my signature under my reply but above the quoted text.

Here a newly created auto-identity with wrong setting marked: grafik

Thanks for this really useful addin !! =)

Hello,

thanks for the feedback.

This issue has the same cause as #6 As of now Thunderbird does not support to copy this information when creating a new identity.

We need to wait until this functionality is added or implement an "experimental" functionality.

knilde commented 2 years ago

Ah, OK. Good you allready know. :-) As workaround (and for max user satisfaction) you COULD add the setting to your preferences site.

Jabb0 commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion :) Unfortunately, it is not possible to change this setting with an AddOn at all. The AddOn interface is still in development I guess.

Next step is to create a bug report / feature request for Thunderbird.

knilde commented 2 years ago

OK. Thanks for Information. Where can I put the feature request for Thunderbird?

Jabb0 commented 2 years ago

I guess this is the place: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home

The issue is missing information in the https://webextension-api.thunderbird.net/en/102/identities.html API.

MailIdentity does not have all identify information. For example, about the SMTP server or the signature position. The SMTP server for the new identity is then set to the default one of the installation. This is unexpected behaviour. The signature positioning is just the default I guess. One needs to ask to add this functionality to the API.

I can open a bug/feature request next week. But feel free to do it if you like :)

I would do but it's better if you can do it. So there is a chance developers there can ask questions and get a response :-)
