29693 - Asa and Lisa need (new) glasses

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Alan S. Jones]

In text messages sent/received _underline_  is not converted.

If I remember the html right it would be conveted to something like this.
<em class=txt_underline>underline</em>

Also it is not clear |code|  is converted correctly
<code class=txt_verticalline>code</code> 
In the origianl bug i saw comments saying that |code| was not implemented or 
commented out then later it looked like it was implemented.

worksforme. Do you have the corresponding prefs in Mailnews/Messages enabled?

Code should work just like any other struct now.

Comment 2

[Alan S. Jones]

*bold* works along with (c) ect..
it is just _underline_ shows just the _ underline _ (no space)

I am not the only one seeing this.  [e-mail] is seeing this also.

Comment 3

I view the bugzilla mail of the previous comment in my debug build from some hs

ago and everything works fine.

Maybe try other fonts for x-unicode or tomorrow's build. Or it's a pp (platform

parity) issue?

Comment 4

[Alan S. Jones]

Interesting... very confusing.  
Lisa, you were also seeing this can you comment?

I am on Win95, ben what platform are you on?

Comment 5

[lchiang]

I am on WinNT.  On the same email I sent out, I can see italics, but not 
underline.  Ben, I'll send an email to you and see what you get.  What is your 
primary platform?

My platform is Linux and your mail displays fine.

Lisa, "underline" in the screenshot you attached *is* italic...

Comment 11

[Alan S. Jones]

Ben, that is sorta what we are seeing.  For some reason on my computer I was not 
seeing quite as Italics at first.  Lisa saw the Italics before I did.

Comment 12

[lchiang]

ben - it shouldn't be italic, right?

Comment 13

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Lisa, it is expected to be displayed italic, because "<em
class=txt_underline>underline</em>" is inserted, which is usually displayed
italic (em = emphasis). I included examples for that as well in my description
<http://www.bucksch.org/1/projects/mozilla/16507>. See also bug #24703.

I think, you're kidding me here, right? If yes, it worked :-). Changing SUMMARY
from "TEXT -> HTML Conversion of _underline_" to "Asa and Lisa need (new)
glasses" and marking WONTFIX. Adding this bug to me Mozilla fun collection
<http://www.bucksch.org/1/projects/mozilla>.

BTW: Change in the prefs your x-unicode fonts to something better, if you want
the italics to be better/more visible (I had my problems with Courier italics,
too). You can also enable variable width fonts for plain text msgs, which gives
you much nicer fonts.

> On the same email I sent out, I can see italics, but not underline

OK, I missed this sentence, sorry. Anyway, this bug was a good laugh :-).

Comment 16

[lchiang]

Bug 24703 is basically what we're saying here.  The bug report didn't stick in 
my mind for some reason when I read it before.  I'll mark this won't fix then.
