Weird Plain Text view behaviour

[sd65]

Hi,

On a plain text mail, Plain Text tab displays HTML.
On a HTML mail, Plain Text tab displays HTML and HTML tab displays plain text.

This is just weird and should be easy to fix I guess. 😃

Hi @sd65 — thanks for your report!

I'm afraid I can't replicate this. It would be a pretty obvious problem! But if I run something like using the latest version of mailcatcher and the example emails in this repository it all behaves as expected:

mailcatcher
catchmail < examples/plainmail
catchmail < examples/htmlmail
catchmail < examples/multipartmail

Can you please provide complete example message bodies and show some screenshots with the issue? Also, what version of mailcatcher are you using (mailcatcher --version)?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm using mailcatcher 0.6.5.

Since your post, I can precise my astonishment. In fact, links are concerted in hyperlinks automatically when using plain text view.
Furthermore, HTML tags are interpreted in plain text.
Here's some screenshots:

Is it an expected behavior? To me, auto hyperlinks are OK and great but interpreting HTML tags is wrong and should be just ignored. What do you think?
Thanks!

Ah, sounds related to #356 introduced by #97. I'm tempted just to revert #97 completely.
