Redmine

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.
