Summary: Improve vacation notice appearance
Key: JAMES-3846
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3846
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Matchers/Mailets (bundled)
Affects Versions: master
Reporter: Karsten Otto
Attachments: Screenshot from 2022-11-02 12-36-54.png
I noticed that vacation notices generated by James look somewhat strange in
Thunderbird, and probably other mail clients as well: It shows _both_ the HTML
and plain text variant of the message (see attached screenshot). This is likely
caused by the Content-Type of multipart/mixed.
I suggest we change this to multipart/alternative instead, so a HTML capable
client will only show the HTML part, while a text-only client will show the
text part instead.
I also noticed that, after setting an HTML message and an _empty_ text message
by accident, the generated text part is naturally empty. This is OK for
HTML-capable clients, but in the worst case a text-only client would show just
an empty mail, even though there is content in the HTML part.
I suggest we make the vacation notice generation more robust, and also generate
a text message from HTML in this case, which will be more useful to the
recipients.
