Comments on: Attaching HTML signatures

I’ve done a ton of testing here and I can’t find any way that existing HTML gets unwrapped.

For testing I’m freezing my “Inbound” queue (which allows me to review the message before the content filter touches it) and again after the content filter rule.

In all cases, the message is wrapped the same before and after the content filter runs, the only significant difference is the signature that I’m adding.

Note that creating a message that is too long is easy, copy/pasting seems to result in rather than a normal space being inserted, resulting in a too-long line. I’m not sure what can be done though, we can’t insert whitespace randomly in content.

Either way, this content filter rule doesn’t seem to cause issues.

Oh interesting. I haven’t seen that behaviour before, but I’ll test a bit to see if I can reproduce it in the lab. MDaemon 11.0.3?

Dave, thanks.

What seems to happen is that as soon as you use the content filter rules, the *existing* wrapping becomes corrupted… I can show you some examples of what I mean if you’d like, I think it’s a bug with the cfrules processing because it doesn’t matter if you don’t even attempt to insert new HTML, if you say, a search and replace on a string, the *existing* Outlook-generated HTML becomes unwrapped too.

From what I know you’ll have to manually wrap signatures for now, MDaemon’s signature feature doesn’t force word-wrapping (but since it only deals with complete lines, you can insert linewraps at the 72-80 character point as you desire)

I have an interesting issue here – as soon as I use the add footer rule in cfrules.dat it breaks the automatic wrapping of text and the e-mail falls back to wrapping a 1024 characters rather than 75.

I’m pretty confident that this is a bug with MDaemon and have logged it with my vendor as such, but would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced similar.

Hi,

I tried your codings exactly as is but didn’t work as expected. The recipient received the email with the signature of a single line below:

/zzz/3 corporate signature/zzz/

Appreciate if you could enlighten me what could have gone wrong?
