Strange QNote operation on some mails #6

Closed ThomasHeinrichSchmidt closed 2 years ago

ThomasHeinrichSchmidt commented 3 years ago

I have received an email that does behave strangely with QNote. I successfully added a QNote to it but there is no note displayed until I press the [QNote] button in the tool bar. After that the correct note text is shown in a pop-up window and I'm able to edit it as normal. But when I scroll through other emails in the summary and come back to this one email it again does not display the note until I press [QNote]. I've generally set QNote to display existing notes not in a pop-up but below the mail header and this works fine, except for this one email where the QNote is not displayed until I press [QNote]- and then it's shown in a pop-up and not below the mail header as all the other QNotes. I noticed one strange thing about the email in question, it's Message-ID is: 214656-350420841-1698522883@xsell.co while the corresponding note file's name is 14656-350420841-1698522883%40xsell.c.qnote

It seems that Message-ID's for other emails are usually wrapped in angle brackets like this <8ab727c0-c9bd-43b1-6c4a-cfe8ed6c50e9@online.de> where the corresponding note file's name then is 8ab727c0-c9bd-43b1-6c4a-cfe8ed6c50e9%40online.de.qnote I've searched through my email backup and found quite a number of emails (148 from a total of 46077 files, 0.3%) with no angle brackets on their Message-ID's (for searching I used the RegEx "^Message-ID:[ ]+[^ <]").

Maybe QNote expects but does not check for the angle brackets? And then gets confused about Message-ID is like: 214656-350420841-1698522883@xsell.co ?

I can confirm Message-ID: headers w/o brackets are getting trimmed by TB API. I rely on TB API to provide message header. Sending messages w/o brackets seems to me is not following RFC:

msg-id = "<" addr-spec ">" ; Unique message id

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc822 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2392

I can not do much about it, sorry. I searched my messages and 8 out of ~18k was incorrectly formatted.

Ah, actually I found a bug in add-on. Will be fixed in next release :facepalm:

Version qnote-0.10.2.xpi was (automatically) installed today, but "strange operation" is still present.

Yes, this will be fixed in next release.
