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
• 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
• 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?
