96252 - New line problems in error msg when having Invalid recipients

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Currently the error messages when having Invalid recipients looks like this:
"An error occured while sending mail. The mail server responded: Invalid 
recipient:[newline]
<[e-mail]>[newline]
. Please check the message recipients and try again."

A better version would be:

"An error occured while sending mail. The mail server responded:[newline]
Invalid recipient: <[e-mail]>[newline]
Please check the message recipients and try again."

That would be nice, yes. But 
"Invalid recipient:[newline]
<[e-mail]>[newline]"
is the servers response.

Do you mean, we should process the servers messages through a filter and remove
the newlines?

perhaps this is just a dupe. Outlook Express shows such errors in a little
textbox , which is much nicer than the alert mozilla uses.

How does such an error looks like in OE? With these newlines or without?
As I wrote it wouldn't be much work to remove them, but I'm not sure if we should.

Having a text box like OE would have some advantages, yes. So messages with much
text (see bug 197134, comment #1) would be a smaller problem. And cut/copy of a
message could also easily be done.
