Message Preview --Suggestion
Suggestion for message preview:

The html code (particuaarly with heavy dose of graphics) is also currently displayed in many cases in the preview box which basically is meaningless. The preview should basically have the html tags stripped and only the text should be displayed.

Also with larger mails (mails with a lot of re stages) the preview starts showing message text anywhere but the begining of the mail. A 30K+ mail for instance consistently gives a preview of this nature.

The preview text is obtained from the msgsearch table, which had an incomplete html_to_text conversion. It's been fixed for 2.2.

I'm assuming this is just a result of the html taking up most of the preview.

Hi,

I am on GM 2.1.0 Which file has to be upgraded? Last time it was Messages.pm which corrected the problem of no preview at all for mails> 20K.

Thnx

Hi Adrian,

Is it a major bugfix or could it be corrected without going for upgrade to the next scheduled version. What changes would rectify this situation (if possible without the upgrade)

Thnx
