Description

HI,

I have found that redmine parses the entire email for variables, and doesn't stop at the specified point.
Eg, an reply formatted email

Testing a ticket to see where it ends up,

The 2nd Status seems to trump the 1st?

Does this seem to be the case? It should strip anything from the the cut line and ignore it.

Confirmed with git:1.2-stable.

Attached is a fix to this problem. The fix makes it search for the first match of /^attr: value$/ and ignore the rest of the mail body.

I noticed this same problem. I used Alex's fix to get it working properly. Redmine 1.2.1

The fix should be to use cleaned_up_text_body instead of plain_text_body in call to #extract_keyword! (source:/trunk/app/models/mail_handler.rb#L229 as of r6325), isn't it?

Yeah, but Setting.mail_handler_body_delimiters is blank by default, so this isn't really going to work.

Right, both fixes should be committed.

BTW, adding a line "--- Please reply ABOVE THIS LINE to respond to this issue ---" requires a bit of tweaking, already?

Maybe that the first delimiter /^>\s*--.*$/ could be considered by default as a reply separator?

Well, yes, and adding that line as a email-truncation pattern makes sense, once you add it to the email header.

Maybe that the first delimiter /^>\s*--.*$/ could be considered by default as a reply separator?

I wouldn't vote for that. Imagine someone forwarding some mail or adding redmine address in reply, so that the quoted text isn't coming from the ticket history. If we were to cut the mail at the above pattern, we might be missing valuable information intended to be included in the ticket history.
