Redmine

Dear all,

For customer access to our support, I plan to use email instead of web access (too much informations printed on the main page and the issue submission page).

Issue creation is OK.

When adding a comment in to an existing issue, I plan to recommend to reply to the notification email of the issue creation (changing the no-reply to correct address). My Thunderbird (2.0) configuration inserts original mail indented and with a blue line on the left. I send the mail in html format.

Parts of the comment in Redmine is rather ugly (without the '> '):

Having a look a the mail source, I have:

It seems that html tags are not correctly removed ? Typically, bad section in the comment is in the 'blockquote' tag.

Is there a way to avoid such problems ? Is this a bug in Redmine ?

Thanks for your help,
