[SOGo] Forward mail with attachment

[Peter B]

Hi,

(Ubuntu 14.04, nightlies currently 3.0.1.20160229-1)

It's possible I'm being dim but in SOGo Web UI I can't find a way to
forward a message with it's existing attachment. It seems the only way
to do this is download the attachment, click to forward the message,
then re-attach (via potentially slow and bandwidth-allocation-consuming
upload) the attachment.

Is this potentially a feature request?

Peter.

What have you set for Forwarding, "inline" or "as attachment"?

Hi Christian,

Set to inline (or rather not set, so defaulting to inline).

Peter.

Hello

Does it work with attachement?

No, if I use "as attachment" the resulting message is blank with no
attachments - I guess that's a bug then!

I (and at least one other user I know of - woohoo! A sample of two)
would like to be able to forward inline, optionally with attachments.
This allows us to edit original content whilst including attachments.

This expectation is due to functionality found in Thunderbird and the
dreaded Outlook (and even in Android mail). In forwarding terms they
both a) automatically include attachments in messages forwarded either
inline or as an attachment, and b) additionally provide a "Forward As
Attachment" button or menu option, allowing the user to choose with each
message how they'd like to forward.

In feature terms I'd like as a minimum a) and b) as a nice-to-have.

Peter.

Hello


Yes, then it is a bug in both cases.
Please report those at http://www.sogo.nu/bugs
