This is brainstorming for a potential new feature (likely a wiki plugin)
Use case:
- User gets email with another system or in Tiki Webmail)
- User wants to archive an email in Tiki where it can be shared in a wiki page or tracker, ideally in a way where it's possible to reply
- Save it in *.eml format to Tiki File Gallery and display it via the wiki-plugin?
- Needs to be searchable
Perhaps a new plugin (or tracker field type?) "ShowMail" which is similar to PluginCode but specialized in emails so
- it deals with indentation of messages
- indentation? you mean monospace text only formatting or HTML message format?
- I mean different levels of replies but you bring a good point about HTML mail support. Can be messy
- indentation? you mean monospace text only formatting or HTML message format?
- permits to respond to the mail
- This should start your desktop email client
-
mailto:
should be able to handle that - you can add?subject=
... not sure about the body of the message though
-
- Later, this could reply in Tiki Webmail
- +1
- This should start your desktop email client
- permits searching on specific fields (if this code can read the mail, it can distinguish subject from to, etc.)
- we could make a new Email message mode for Code Mirror
- it could parse text-only email syntax like
*bold*
,/italics/
, smileys, and different levels of replies:>>
We can parse mails with * https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mail
- http://williamdurand.fr/EmailReplyParser/ -> very useful for Mail-in and Conversation threading
What should the name of this feature be?
- ShowMail?
- +1
- ViewMail?
- ReadMail?
