Composer: Add URL to plain text part of email
[Apologies for the empty description start with, gitlab didn't show me the description box!]
If people put a link in an HTML email, then the generated plain text sent by Evolution excludes the URL. It'd be useful for the people that prefer reading plain text email to be able to see the URL, either inline with the text or as a footnote.
An example, this is the HTML format:
Testing a link blah blah
--
Andrew Ruthven
...
(where link is an HTML anchor with a URL)
The plain text MIME is:
...
--=-R0xUKa4DxyTSEfvkg7qf
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Testing a=C2=A0link=C2=A0blah blah
--=20
Andrew Ruthven
...
Which is rendered in plain text as:
Testing a link blah blah
--
Andrew Ruthven
...
Perhaps it could be formatted as:
Testing a link - https://www.example.com/ - blah blah
--
Andrew Ruthven
...
Steps to reproduce:
- Compose an email in Evolution as HTML, include a link.
- On the recipient email, view as Plain Text, the link text is present, but there is no indication of a link, and the URL isn't provided.
What I'd expect to see:
In Plain Text the URL would be present, either inline with the text or as a footnote (sample given above). My understanding from the colleague who reported this to me is that other email clients do this in some form, I haven't checked, it just seems sensible to me.
Evolution version: 3.46.4-2 on Debian 12.4 (Bookworm)
