In some cases (e.g. user notification emails) we
are passing an excerpted/stripped version of the
post HTML to Email::Styles, at which point the
<span> elements surrounding the hashtag text have
been stripped. This caused an error when trying to
remove that element to replace the text.
Instead we can just remove all elements inside
a.hashtag-cooked and replace with the raw #hashtag
text which will work in more cases.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.
------
**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
This commit renames all secure_media related settings to secure_uploads_* along with the associated functionality.
This is being done because "media" does not really cover it, we aren't just doing this for images and videos etc. but for all uploads in the site.
Additionally, in future we want to secure more types of uploads, and enable a kind of "mixed mode" where some uploads are secure and some are not, so keeping media in the name is just confusing.
This also keeps compatibility with the `secure-media-uploads` path, and changes new
secure URLs to be `secure-uploads`.
Deprecated settings:
* secure_media -> secure_uploads
* secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails -> secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
* secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb -> secure_uploads_max_email_embed_image_size_kb
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-email-messages-are-incorrectly-threaded/233499
for thorough reasoning.
This commit changes how we generate Message-IDs and do email
threading for emails sent from Discourse. The main changes are
as follows:
* Introduce an outbound_message_id column on Post that
is either a) filled with a Discourse-generated Message-ID
the first time that post is used for an outbound email
or b) filled with an original Message-ID from an external
mail client or service if the post was created from an
incoming email.
* Change Discourse-generated Message-IDs to be more consistent
and static, in the format `discourse/post/:post_id@:host`
* Do not send References or In-Reply-To headers for emails sent
for the OP of topics.
* Make sure that In-Reply-To is filled with either a) the OP's
Message-ID if the post is not a direct reply or b) the parent
post's Message-ID
* Make sure that In-Reply-To has all referenced post's Message-IDs
* Make sure that References is filled with a chain of Message-IDs
from the OP down to the parent post of the new post.
We also are keeping X-Discourse-Post-Id and X-Discourse-Topic-Id,
headers that we previously removed, for easier visual debugging
of outbound emails.
Finally, we backfill the `outbound_message_id` for posts that have
a linked `IncomingEmail` record, using the `message_id` of that record.
We do not need to do that for posts that don't have an incoming email
since they are backfilled at runtime if `outbound_message_id` is missing.
The maximum_staged_users_per_email site setting controls how many
staged users will be invited to the topic created from an incoming
email. Previously, it counted only the new staged users.
When sending emails with delivery_method_options -> return_response
set to true, the SMTP sending code inside Mail will return the SMTP
response when calling deliver! for mail within the app. This commit
ensures that Email::Sender captures this response if it is returned
and stores it against the EmailLog created for the sent email.
A follow up PR will make this visible within the admin email UI.
When we build and send emails using MessageBuilder and Email::Sender
we add custom headers defined in SiteSetting.email_custom_headers.
However this was causing errors in cases where the custom headers
defined a header that we already specify in outbound emails (e.g.
the Precedence: list header for topic/post emails).
This commit makes it so we always use the header value defined in Discourse
core if there is a duplicate, discarding the custom header value
from the site setting.
cf. https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-notifications-fail-if-duplicate-headers-exist/222960/14
Mozilla Thunderbird email client add links into HTML as follows:
`<p>The link: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://google.com">https://google.com</a></p>`
Current filtering rules strip out the link, leaving only `<p>The link: </p>`.
Properly strip only unnecessary information: quote prefix, signature, forwarded message header.
This PR enables custom email dark mode styles by default that were added here.
There is currently poor support for dark mode queries in mail clients. The main beneficiary of these changes will be Apple Mail and Outlook.
Enjoy the darkness 🕶️
This patch removes some of our freedom patches that have been deprecated
for some time now.
Some of them have been updated so we’re not shipping code based on an
old version of Rails.
This allows text editors to use correct syntax coloring for the heredoc sections.
Heredoc tag names we use:
languages: SQL, JS, RUBY, LUA, HTML, CSS, SCSS, SH, HBS, XML, YAML/YML, MF, ICS
other: MD, TEXT/TXT, RAW, EMAIL
Whenever we got a bounced email in the Email::Receiver we
previously would just set bounced: true on the EmailLog and
discard the status/diagnostic code. This commit changes this
flow to store the bounce error code (defined in the RFC at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/smtp-enhanced-status-codes/smtp-enhanced-status-codes.xhtml)
not just in the Email::Receiver, but also via webhook events
from other mail services and from SNS.
This commit does not surface the bounce error in the UI,
we can do that later if necessary.
When creating a direct message to a group with group SMTP
set up, and adding another person to that message in the OP,
we send an email to the second person in the OP via the group_smtp
job. This in turn creates an IncomingEmail record to guard against
IMAP double sync.
The issue with this was that this IncomingEmail (which is essentialy
a placeholder/dummy one) was having its Message-ID used as the canonical
References Message-ID for subsequent emails sent out to user_private_message
recipients (such as members of the group), causing threading issues in
the mail client. The canonical <topic/ID@HOST> format should be used
instead for these cases.
This commit fixes the issue by only using the IncomingEmail for the
OP's Message-ID if the OP was created via our handle_mail email receiver
pipeline. It does not make sense to use it in other cases.
Since 3b13f1146b the email threading
in mail clients has been broken, because the random suffix meant
that the References header would always be different for non-group
SMTP email notifications sent out.
This commit fixes the issue by always using the "canonical" topic
reference ID inside the References header in the format:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
Which was the old format. We also add the References header to
notifications sent for the first post arriving, so the threading
works for subsequent emails. The Message-ID header is still random
as per the previous change.
Currently the Message-IDs we send out for outbound email
are not unique; for a post they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID@HOST
And for a topic they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
This commit changes the outbound Message-IDs to also have
a random suffix before the host, so the new format is
like this:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
Or:
topic/TOPIC_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
This should help with email deliverability. This change
is backwards-compatible, the old Message-ID format will
still be recognized in the mail receiver flow, so people
will still be able to reply using Message-IDs, In-Reply-To,
and References headers that have already been sent.
This commit also refactors Message-ID related logic
to a central location, and adds judicious amounts of
tests and documentation.
* FIX: Remove List-Post email header
This header is used for mailing lists and can confuse some email clients
such as Thunderbird to display wrong replying options.
* FIX: Replace reply_key in email custom headers
Admins can add custom email headers from site settings. Email sender
will try to replace the reply key if %{reply_key} exists or remove the
header if a reply key does not exist.
Usually, when an email is received a user lookup is performed using the
email address found in the `From` header. When an email has an
`X-Original-From` header, if it is equal to `Reply-To` then it uses that
one instead. The comparison was sensitive to whitespaces and other
insignificant characters such as quotes because it reconstructed the
`From` header.
For the fixture added in this commit, it compared the reconstructed
`From` header `John Doe <johndoe@example.com>` with the `Reply-To`
header `"John Doe" <johndoe@example.com>`.
The display name can have quotes around it, which does not work
with our current comparison of a from field (in this case Reply-To)
and another header (X-Original-From), because we are not comparing
the two values in the same way. This causes an issue where the
commit here: b88d8c8 will not
work properly; the forwarded email gets the From address instead
of the Reply-To address as intended.
When forwarding emails into the group inbox, we now use the
original sender email as the from_address since
2ac9fd9dff. However, we have not
been saving the original CC addresses of the forwarded email,
which are needed to include those recipients in on the conversation
when replying via the group inbox.
This commit captures the CC addresses on the incoming email, and
makes sure the emails are created as staged users and added to the
list of topic allowed users so they are included on CC's sent by
the GroupSmtpEmail and other jobs.
When 2ac9fd9dff was done, this
affected the small post that is created when forwarding an email
into the group inbox. Instead of using the name and the email of
the user who forwarded the email, it used the original from email
and name to create the small post. So instead of something like
"Discourse Team forwarded the above email" we ended up with
"John Smith forwarded the above email" which is incorrect.
This fixes the issue by creating a staged user for the forwarding
email address (if such a user does not yet exist) and uses that
for the "forwarded" small post instead.
When emails were forwarded to a group inbox by the email address
of the group, for example when an email ends up in spam and must
be manually forwarded to the group+site@discoursemail.com address,
the OP of the topic ended up being the group's email address instead
of the sender who originally sent the email to the group inbox.
This commit detects that an email has been forwarded using existing
tools, and if the from address matches one of the group incoming
email addresses, then we look at the forwarded email's from address
and use that instead for the incoming email from address as well as
the staged/regular user used for the Topic.user.
This will make it much cleaner to forward emails into a group inbox,
and will prevent issues with PostAlerter where the OP is double-notified
for these emails.
Emails can include the marker in a different language, depending on
site and user settings. The email receiver always looked for the marker
in default language.
The following example message would generate an exception:
```
Return-Path: <discourse@bar.com>
From: Foo Bar <discourse@bar.com>
To: reply+4f97315cc828096c9cb34c6f1a0d6fe8@bar.com
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 00:12:43 +0100
Message-ID: <21@foo.bar.mail>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
</div>
```
Exception:
```
NoMethodError:
undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass
```
Inlining secure images with the same name was not possible because they
were indexed by filename. If an email contained two files with the same
name, only the first image was used for both of them. The other file
was still attached to the email.
When the Reply-To header is present for incoming emails we
want to use it instead of the from address. This is usually the
case when forwarding an email via a mailing list into Discourse.
For now we are only using the Reply-To header if the email has
been forwarded via Google Groups, which is why we are checking the
X-Original-From header too. In future we may want to use the Reply-To
header in more cases.
This PR makes several changes to the group SMTP email contents to make it look more like a support inbox message.
* Remove the context posts, they only add clutter to the email and replies
* Display email addresses of staged users instead of odd generated usernames
* Add a "please reply above this line" message to sent emails
This PR backtracks a fair bit on this one https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13220/files.
Instead of sending the group SMTP email for each user via `UserNotifications`, we are changing to send only one email with the existing `Jobs::GroupSmtpEmail` job and `GroupSmtpMailer`. We are changing this job and mailer along with `PostAlerter` to make the first topic allowed user the `to_address` for the email and any other `topic_allowed_users` to be the CC address on the email. This is to cut down on emails sent via SMTP, which is subject to daily limits from providers such as Gmail. We log these details in the `EmailLog` table now.
In addition to this, we have changed `PostAlerter` to no longer rely on incoming email email addresses for sending the `GroupSmtpEmail` job. This was unreliable as a user's email could have changed in the meantime. Also it was a little overcomplicated to use the incoming email records -- it is far simpler to reason about to just use topic allowed users.
This also adds a fix to include cc_addresses in the EmailLog.addressed_to_user scope.
This adds the following columns to EmailLog:
* cc_addresses
* cc_user_ids
* topic_id
* raw
This is to bring the EmailLog table closer in parity to
IncomingEmail so it can be better utilized for Group SMTP
and IMAP mailing.
The raw column contains the full content of the outbound email,
but _only_ if the new hidden site setting
enable_raw_outbound_email_logging is enabled. Most sites do not
need it, and it's mostly required for IMAP and SMTP sending.
In the next pull request, there will be a migration to backfill
topic_id on the EmailLog table, at which point we can remove the
topic fallback method on EmailLog.
We already reject email replies to public topics via `SiteSetting.disallow_reply_by_email_after_days` and raising the `OldDestinationError`. This PR introduces similar behaviour for group inboxes, but without the rejection, and **only when SMTP is enabled for the group**.
If a reply is sent via email and the post is older than `SiteSetting.disallow_reply_by_email_after_days` days ago, then we create a new topic instead of making a reply in the old one and link back to the original topic. This is done to prevent long running group inbox discussions.
When we are emailing people from a group inbox, we are having
a PM conversation with them, as a support account would. In this
case mailing list headers do not make sense. It is not like a forum
topic where you may have tens or hundreds of participants -- it is a
conversation between the group and a small handful of people
directly contacting the group, often just one person.
The only header left in tact was List-Unsubsribe which is important
for letting people opt out to notifications.
Adds a new `smtp_group_id` column to `EmailLog` which is filled in if the mail `from_address` matches a group's `email_username`. This is for easier debugging, so we know which emails have been sent via group SMTP.
When replying to a user_private_message email originating from
a group PM that does _not_ have a reply key (e.g. when replying
directly to the group's SMTP address), we were mistakenly linking
the new post created from the reply to the OP and the user who
created the topic, based on the first IncomingEmail message ID in
the topic, rather than using the correct reply to user and post number
that the user actually replied to.
We now use the In-Reply-To header to look up the corresponding EmailLog
record when the user who replied was sent a user_private_message email,
and use the post from that as the reply_to_user/post.
This also removes superfluous filtering of incoming_email records. After
already filtering by message_id and then addressed_to_user (which only
returns incoming emails where the to, from, or cc address includes any
of the user's emails), we were filtering again but in the ruby code for
the exact same conditions. After removing this all existing tests still
pass.
