It's probably also something with the core, did you check if the same thing happens with android?
We should add that when you click on the [...]
the whole message gets displayed and also add the message source code to the message info screen.
it's not a bug, it's a feature :)
the core truncates long text for some reasons, eg. mails may contain endless base64 encoded data.
of course, we can tweak the limit (currently 30K), however, in general, i think it makes sense (also as, by definition, the text should only contain user generated text, this is typically less than a book).
the android version offers an option to view the whole text using the "info" buttons: this text is rendered raw in a more efficient control. the (mostly) full text is included in the information returned by dc_get_msg_info()
btw. showing the full text also makes sense when text is truncated accidentially (the quote detection is only a heuristic that often works, however, it may also replace wanted text by [...] here and there)

I see – but I think at least the user should be informed that the text is truncated, right?

that's why the [...] is added :)

I’d opt for a notification before the text is sent, like "text too long, send a truncated version anyway"? I mean, if images would be too large, you wouldn’t leave out pixel lines, right? :)
well, this would not solve the situation when the mail comes from a normal MUAs.
i think the most important fix for this issue on desktop is to add an option to view the full text (as mentioned above).
As more info now shows the complete message, this should be fixed
does it show the full message also on outgoing messages now?

Yup seems like.
Sending this text:
results in a cut of text, at least displayed. It's getting send correctly.
