[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: old regression, we can send the data (MMS subject) user doesn't want to send. Happens only when user sends MMS (if finally message becomes SMS, subject won't be sent). The fix is supposed to be easy and safe.

STR:
* Open Messages app and enter new message composer;
* Add a subject and type some text in subject field;
* Add an attachment;
* Hide/remove subject using the top right menu;
* Send the message.

Expected result: message is sent with attachment, but without subject;

Actual result: message is sent with both attachment and hidden subject.

It's year old regression from bug 1067228.
blocking-b2g: 2.5? → 2.2?
Asking for 2.2+ status because the regression is in 2.2 and the patch should be easy. It's quite an edge case but I can feel a user could encounter it.

Hi Morpheus,
The remove subject option seems not clear here because the current behavior of the remove subject is  only "hide" the subject actually, so the subject will display with previous text content when user chooses to add the subject again. Should we remove the text when user click "remove subject", or simply keep the current behavior?

In bug 1176976, we also were considering the simplest solution when "Compose.getSubject" just doesn't return anything if it's not visible [1], so the current behavior is kept, but bugs are fixed :)

Yeah, it's also an option in my mind, but just want to confirm how we handle the subject when user choose remove the subject.
Please refer to [1] for all the flows related to Subject we use currently.

Also I know we don't want to clear the text because we want the text to be shown again when the user selects "show subject" again (this is not in the UX spec but was discussed on a bug -- I could find it if you really want to but this would be difficult :p).
There are other solutions to do that, but the simplest is to not clear :)

That's why the best and only solution is what we did before bug 1067228: retrieving subject's value should check the subject visibility.
Target Milestone: --- → FxOS-S8 (02Oct)
Hey Steve, I think we can move forward to recover the previous behavior even if Morpheus doesn't answer.
Sorry for my late reply. I just get back from business trip, and thank for waiting.

IMO, the added subject should be entirely removed since the term says "remove subject". I understand the reason to just hide the subject is to prevent user retyping again, however, most use cases of subject are pretty short, especially in Message, it might be unnecessary to provide the hidden feature. Moreover, the hidden feature can also be confusing when user choose "add subject". So, I would prefer to entirely remove the subject.

Thanks for all the reply, so 2.5 I think we can simply keep the original behavior as Julien said in comment 6. Since UX has some concerns about the hide/remove subject, I'll also create another bug for subject removal as backlog.
We can discuss a little more on the additional bug.

Hi Oleg, this patch is simply align with the draft saving changes. I think the handling here should be the same?

As we all agreed, let's move change to "Compose.getSubject()" instead (and remove workaround I've made in [1]), please set r? again whenever you're ready :)

Thanks!
