E-Mail client can be tricked into submitting too much data

Tue, 25 May 2004 21:27:45 -0000

If the email clietn is replying to a message with lots of
htmlentities-style characters (greater-than and less-than signs,
especially), it can be tricked into sending more than 64K of data to
appslink.net/file/open. There's already something that restricts
that, but the excessive quoting sneaks past it. Obviously, it should
count the size of the data _after_ escaping it.

forward message should forward attachment too

Thu, 01 May 2003 17:52:52 -0000

When you forward a message which has attachment(s), those
attachments should forward also.

However, when you reply to a message that has attachments, I
presume that said attachments should _not_ be sent on - is that
right?

international date formats not understood

They turn into January 1 1901. The old Perl solution with DateParse used to work.

Reply-To Settings not honored

Wed, 05 Mar 2003 20:41:48 -0000

Reply-To settings in an email are not honored. Instead, the from address is used. This is not how it should be done.

session timeout display is unhelpful

Fri, 21 Feb 2003 20:55:38 -0000

has a link you can click which causes a recursive reload of whole appslink window in left pane.

Or you can refresh the window to re-get a login pane. either way - it's not how it should be, and is ugly. Fixme.

Forward sends to extra people

Aaron Smith — Thu, 07 Nov 2002 21:59:24 -0000

I was forwarding a message and the 'To:' and 'Cc:' list from the
email I had recieved (and was going to forward) showed up in the to
and cc list on my email (ie, not want forward email to people I got
it from, only people I specify)

attachments don't get filenames

Mon, 02 Sep 2002 15:55:41 -0000

Downloading attachments we don't see the filename (one of the
MIME attribute thingees after a semicolon - typically encoded in the
"content-disposition: attachment; filename=blah.blah"
bit).

This stymies attempts to guess the filetype based on
extension (for when 'magic' fails).

Apps can't tell how invoked

Sat, 24 Aug 2002 01:41:14 -0000

Applications can't tell if they've been invoked as a 'document
proper' or as a subdocument.

For instance, an application
that wanted to provide a convenience 'get properties' link should
only provide that link if the document in question is a proper
document - not if it's a subdocument.

Or, another example
would be the opposite use - the contact viewer might wish to provide a
'Create a new contact with this information' link when you're viewing
a contact - good for like clicking on an attached vcard to an email. It
would only want to do so if the vcard in question was NOT a proper
document.

Sent Mail loses source mailbox

Fri, 23 Aug 2002 19:53:31 -0000

When you send a mail, it no longer (correctly) states
which e-mail account it came from - so you get nervous
thinking you sent something to someone from the wrong
account.
