Evo sigs show HTML formatting code in new messages

[Matthew Tighe]

1. Create a HTML signature in evolution
2. Exit evolution
3. Create or respond to new message
4. You get HTML formatting commands in a plain text signature...

new upstream comment

"How exactly are you guys creating your HTML signature? Insert -> HTML File?
Or are you pasting in raw HTML code? Note, the signature editor is a WYSIWYG
editor and doesn't support editing raw HTML code."

question from upstream: "How exactly are you guys creating your HTML signature? Insert -> HTML File?
Or are you pasting in raw HTML code? Note, the signature editor is a WYSIWYG
editor and doesn't support editing raw HTML code."

could you reply here or to the upstream report? thanks.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

ping? could you answer to the questions above? thanks.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

A reporter stated upstream that this was fixed with latest package on intrepid, could you confirm?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

closing since the upstream bug has been closed, you can reopen if you still get the issue though

[Chris (cfreak-gmail)]

I'm on intrepid with all the latest updates and I'm still seeing this issue.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Chris, that's probably different please open a new bug answering the questions that Sebastien did here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/185391/comments/4 ; Thanks.

Pedro: its the exact same bug. I see no need to open a new one. I created the HTML from within the signature screen. I am not editing raw HTML in the screen.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a HTML signature in evolution
2. Exit evolution
3. Open evolution and create a new message (either by clicking new, replying, forwarding, etc)
4. The signature gets converted to plain text leaving the "raw" html behind (it appears the < > are converted to entities)

My evolution version is 2.24.3

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Chris, if you think it's the exact same issue could you comment upstream then? thanks.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

closing the bug again since the user having the issue is not responsive and upstream closed the bug too

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you can open a new bug if you still get the issue in jaunty

[Per Lejontand (per-lejontand)]

This is still present in Jaunty.

I can get an HTML sig in by creating a script that will spit out exactly the same HTML as I had in my signature file. Then it works fine in both plain text and HTML emails. Reading data from a file however still always shows me HTML source code as signature.

This is regardless of email HTML settings.
