Hi folks --
I've recently started having a problem with my Gmail filters that appears
to only happen in Mailplane. The problem I see is that upon editing a
Filter that has quotes in one of the terms, any quotation marks (") are
converted to the 'smart quotes' (”), which stops my Fiiter from working,
presumably because the smart quotes are not treated by Gmail as quotation
marks but as characters to be matched.
So, for example, if I have this Filter (which works great):
*from:(American Express) subject:("AutoPay Reminder"|statement|"payment was
received")*
And I edit it to add a new term at the end:
*subject:("AutoPay Reminder"|statement|"payment was received"|"new text")*
What gets saved is:
*from:(American Express) subject:(“AutoPay Reminder”|statement|”payment was
received”|”new text”)*
Which no longer matches the emails that the original filter did.
I've also found that in Mailplane, I'm unable to replace the smart quotes
with normal quotation marks (upon saving they all get converted to the
smart quotes again).
I'm running Mailplane 3.5.5 (2019) on OS X 10.11.2 (15C50). I've also seen
this behavior on my work Mac that's running Yosemite.
This behavior (the conversion-on-save) does not happen in Chrome (47.0.2526.80)
nor in Safari (9.0.2 (11601.3.9)).
The workaround is to only edit Filters with quotation marks in any field
using Gmail on Chrome, and if I forget and do it in Mailplane, to correct
it also in Chrome.
Let me know if you would like any additional information.
Thanks,
-- Tom
