Clicking on links in html emails #528

Open hugoroy opened 6 years ago

hugoroy commented 6 years ago

Does it work for you when reading html emails? I can't seem to be able to click on links (also the pointer does detect a link).

gauteh commented 6 years ago

It should work. Is the click registered in the logs?

Still an issue? Note that anything using Javascript will not work. The GitHub links in the HTML parts work for me.

hugoroy commented 6 years ago

Did not have time to investigate. Will do this weekend!

To be more precise,

I don't see anything in the logs for any of the above. I have tried coredumpctrl astroid gdb but I get "Unknown operation astroid."

gauteh commented 6 years ago

Does left click without using menu work?

To be more precise,

  • I can hover a link and it gets detected as such (pointer changes to a hand)
  • I can right click on a link and have a link-specific menu
  • I can "copy" the target link from this menu
  • If I click to open the link or open in a new window from this menu, nothing happens

I don't see anything in the logs for any of the above. I have tried coredumpctrl astroid gdb but I get "Unknown operation astroid."

Also make sure to turn on debug level log messages

Interesting, I wanted to look into how to do that, and here's what happened:


hugo@xps ~ % astroid --help
  -h [ --help ]         print this help message
  -c [ --config ] arg   config file, default: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/astroid/config
  -n [ --new-config ]   make new default config, then exit
  -m [ --mailto ] arg   compose mail with mailto url or address
  --no-auto-poll        do not poll automatically
  --disable-log         disable logging
  --log-stdout          log to stdout regardless of configuration
  --start-polling       indicate that external polling (external notmuch db R/W
                        operations) starts
  --stop-polling        indicate that external polling stops
  --refresh arg         refresh messages changed since lastmod
  --disable-plugins     disable plugins

No, nothing happens when I do that, and nothing appears in the terminal. (But maybe I didn't specify the right debug log level).

Yeah -- that happens if you already have an instance of astroid running. Should fix that...

You either need to get latest master for a command line arg, or use the config to set it: https://github.com/astroidmail/astroid/wiki/Configuration-Reference#undocumented-options

Indeed, I don't get that when astroid does not already run! :)

Which number should I put?

The string "debug".

OK. So: I didn't see anything in the logs.

However, I realise that it works on some links, but not others... A bit hard to be more precise at this point. My impression is that it used to work better before in this regard. But this is just an impression...

Links in Github html footers seem to work.

I think there should be a line about which link is opened with xdg-open or similar. So if the line is missing the program is not invoked, if it is present, then the problem might be at xdg-open end.

Yeah, this is my imperession as well. Maybe it is a tracker / JS thing.. perhaps you can investigate the HTML if you come across one that does not work.

gauteh commented 6 years ago

Do these links use Javascript? I get the same issues for some links.

hugoroy commented 5 years ago

Hi, finally - here's an example email where I can't click on the links (when viewing HTML).

Les nouveauts SNCF et OUIGO et de beaux voyages _ venir.zip

ghost commented 5 years ago

Same behavior here; absolutely nothing in printed in the logs (either console or 'Z') when the link is clicked. Here's a truncated link in the source of an email that isn't working. It's weird HTML, but it isn't javascript. The link is truncated for privacy reasons; it's just a very long base64 encoded packet, no other parameters. When I copy the link with right-click menu and paste into a browser, it works:

<span id=3D"unsubscribe-link">|<a href=3D"http://sg.theladders.com/mpss/c/I=

Is there any progress for this issue? This issue usually happens for mail-digest from my university. The URLs have an odd form and the HTML in the mail is rather "unclean":

                        <tr style=3D"background-color: #cdcdcd">
                            <td style=3D"padding: 5px; font-family: Helveti=

                                <a href=3D"http://www.##########/index.ph=

                            </td>
                        </tr>

I can see, that the user above me has a target=3D"_blank" inside the <a></a> tag as well. Could it either be this specific parameter or target="_blank" in general?

hugoroy commented 4 years ago

This could be the root cause of the issue indeed!

Lattitude75 commented 4 years ago

@hugoroy Has anything happened with this issue? It still affects me and is very troubling as I am not able to open links in the Html mode and the plain mode is not exactly readable when the email has many links.

Edit: I noticed that any link having target="_blank" is not opening. With some research, I found this article, but have no idea how to implement it. @gauteh is it possible to implement this in Astroid? Most of my email links are obsolete and need to constantly change to plain text mode to access them. This should make it a lot easier.

mreppen commented 4 years ago

I can confirm that I only experience this with target="_blank" links.

@Lattitude75 In case you hadn't thought of it: you can right click and copy the link, then paste it in the browser. Comes with the bonus of seeing the full link as well.

Lattitude75 commented 4 years ago

@mreppen Yes, I have realised that. But, that is too lengthy each time I want to open a link. I copy it, then go to a browser open a new tab and then paste it. This is too lengthy a process and is very time consuming when you want to open multiple links.

mreppen commented 4 years ago

I agree. I did not mean it as a solution, but as a workaround. I wish I had more time on my hands to take a look myself, but that will not happen in months.
