[imp] IMP displays both Plaintext and HTML

[Jens Pranaitis]

Hello list,
I'm having some trouble getting IMP to behave like it did with Horde3
with regard to HTML mails. With Horde3 when receiving a mail containing
both plain-text and HTML only the HTML part is displayed (however the
plain-text part is readable as an attachment). In Horde4 and IMP5 both
parts are displayed underneath each other. Is there any way I can get
Horde to only display the HTML part (if available) without breaking
display of plain-text-only messages? I'd really appreciate your help on
this subject.

I'm running IMP 5.0.23 and Horde 4.0.15. I enabled HTML by creating
imp/config/mime_drivers.local.php with the following content:

<?
$mime_drivers = array(
'html' => array(
'inline' => true,
'handles' => array(
'text/html'
),
'icons' => array(
'default' => 'html.png'
),
'limit_inline_size' => 1048576,
'phishing_check' => true
)
);
?>

Kind regards,
Jens Pranaitis

This would happen if the message is not a multipart/alternative
message and is, instead, separate text/html and text/plain messages.

I'm quite sure this isn't the case. The message source sets
"Content-Type: multipart/alternative". The E-Mail was generated by Horde
3, IMP 4.3.11.

Any other suggestions to fix this problem? This is kind of a show
stopper for us. We'll probably have to delay our migration to Horde 4 if
we can't find out whether this is a bug or some misconfiguration on our
side.

If the message format is correct, then your IMAP server is returning
invalid data. If you can provide a message source of such a message,
and an IMAP log of loading such a message, we could maybe tell you more.

Sure, I've attached a sample HTML message generated by Horde4 and the
IMAP log of the message. I removed stuff from the IMAP which seemed to
be related to other private messages, if you need the complete log I can
send it to you privately.

FWIW this message displays fine here in both Horde 4 and 5. Michael
might be able to say more about the log.

Just to make sure we're on the same page here: The message renders
correctly for me as well. My problem is having both plain text and html
displayed at the same time. Especially with longer message this can be
frustrating. I attached a screenshot of the test message to this mail.

This can't happen with base IMP (just like Jan, I don't see it
either). This could only happen if you have broken the
multipart/alternative configuration in mime_drivers.php.

I didn't touch the mime_drivers.php file, I created a
mime_drivers.local.php with the contents mentioned in the first post of
this thread. The file looks correct to me, but if you see any errors I'd
really appreciate it if you could point them out.

Have you tried with a minimal mime_drivers.local.php as documented.
All you should need is:

<?php
$mime_drivers['html']['inline'] = true;

Thanks, that solved the problem for me!
