rake receive_pop3 is stripping formatting and new lines
0%
Description
Since upgrading from redmine 1.3.1 to 1.4.4, the redmine:email:receive_pop3 task seems to be stripping all formatting and new lines out of emails, and adding a continuous blob of text as a one-line comment to a redmine issue.
This continuous blob also includes email signatures which should have been truncated as per the settings (which worked fine in 1.3.1, but is not working anymore) Most likely this is due to the fact the stripping of new lines is occuring before trying to truncate, resulting in no lines matching.
We are using exchange for emails, and nothing else has changed apart from the redmine version.

Could you attach one of these emails (in raw format) so I can try to reproduce?

I hope these help, please let me know if you need anything else.
Is it possible to call the receive_pop3 rake task with a debug option that saves the raw emails?

We're experiencing this problem, but I'm suspicious it's related to the WYSIWYG functionality. Redmine seems to assume plain text entry and a plain-to-HTML filter on output, and when you enable WYSIWYG editing, the system assumes the content will be HTML and does not run it through a plain-to-HTML filter. When we turned on the WYSIWYG after a few weeks of use, all existing content showed up as described here (without any P/BR breaks).
So I think Redmine is receiving the e-mails, normalizing to a plain text format, but since we have the WYSIWYG on, that plain text is not sent through the plain-to-HTML filter. If that's the case we could either allow HTML e-mail received to be saved directly as markup in Redmine, or we could always apply a plain-to-HTML filter to handle old plain text content added by e-mail/before WYSIWYG was enabled. E.g. Markdown permits P elements to passthrough as is.

We've confirmed that disabling the WYSIWYG eliminates the problem, so I'm guessing the fix will be having the WYSIWYG plugin run incoming e-mail content through something like email_content.gsub(/\n/, '<br />')

Hi,
We have the similar issue on Redmine 1.4.
In our case, it caused by HTML email parser in Redmine 1.4 is incompatible with the latest Microsoft Exchange server. To fix our issue, we modified mail_handler.rb file likes below, and then it works well.

Hope it can help you to resolve issues
