Hi Team,

You may remember this...

Additionally, while tweaking the plain text email code...

I still struggle to remember, when writing a reply via the web site, to insert a line break following a closing quote tag.  If I don't do that then the response gets rendered as part of the quote in the plain text part of the email to subscribers. It would be great if the conversion to email format would ensure that the plain text part separates any quote and my response.

This still does not seem to be fixed. In fact it may have got worse. I have seen cases where even if I do hit the carriage return after a < /quote> tag, my response still gets merged with the quote.

However, my reason for digging up this old topic is that, I have also recently tried sending attached files to Nabble and whereas the HTML part shows something like:

yahoouk.ins (436 bytes) Download Attachment
plusnet.ins (392 bytes) Download Attachment

All mention of the attached files is dropped from the plain text part of the mail. Can the file name, file size and URL of the stored file be added to the plain text part of emails, please.

While working on this could you also attend to this message:

And Peter's comment in this topic " It reminds me of old times plain-text communication. :-) " is so right! Some of us actually like not being at risk of viruses transmitted through HTML mail and the compact size of downloads on expensive mobile connections. It is why I am one of the development team at nPOPuk! Long live Luddites! :-)
