326826 - Linkify and onhover references in HTML bugmail

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, enhancement)

Description

[Joel Peshkin]

Once bugmail is available in HTML format, When a bugmail contains a reference to another bug or a comment, the HTML-coded bugmail should auto-linkify the reference AND provide the same onhover feature for bugs as we have in show_bug AND comments should be displayed when hovered on.

This way, when an email references comment XYZ, (expecially in replies) the reader can hover on XYZ to see that comment.

This depends on HTML mail being s userpref controlled item, of course.

Note that currently hovering over bug numbers shows their status/resolution and summary, however if these change after the email has been sent but before it's read, it won't update = ugly.

[Frédéric Buclin]

Note also bug 113688 about a similar request, but for plain text emails.

Comment 3

[Guy Pyrzak]

this bug might now be a dup for bug 65477 since bug 65477 will implement this.

Looks good to me! Of course, we'll have to get some feedback and make sure that this works in all the common MTAs.

This means that you can also remove full_url, right?
