Patch #11684
closed
Truncate incoming emails
0%
Description
While setting up Redmine for work, we decided we needed the incoming emails to be truncated properly, to remove any quotes when replying.
I came up with a patch for the mail handler which will automatically strip everything after the reply message. I figured this might be able to be worked into Redmine as an option in the settings, it works with replying to a Redmine email from outlook which I have tested but it should also work with replies from gmail, apple mail, and some other mail clients.

Why not simply fill the Truncate emails after one of these lines accordingly in the Administration/Settings/Incoming mails tab?

Well to be honest, I could not figure out how to get that to work using a regular expression, maybe some better documentation would provide useful for this part. However I still think a simple check box asking if you want to truncate emails which works across "most" email clients is the simplest and most elegant solution.
Which is why I shared this patch as I thought this could be a good start at implementing it.

+1 exactly what I was searching for, Thank you!
Just had to edit it for german mails.
The method of redmine works fine, but incase the email client adds something with a date or something like that it doesnt work, because you cant use wildcards.:(

Ah, this old issue :(
I tried this patch with latest docker redmine's release. It worked for GNU/Linux's Thunderbird, but not for Windows 7's Thunderbird [1]. I suspect is the difference in new line character between Windows and GNU/Linux
[1] not working means that after applying the patch, there's no expression evaluated to truncate the message: could be regex or not; does not work. Without the patch works; but without regex.

You can use regular expressions for the "Truncate emails after one of these lines" setting in Redmine 3.4.0 and later (#5864). It covers this feature request.
