Description

Currently, most of the reports include long lines as they were typed by the user in WhisperBack. Those are very annoying to deal with in some email clients (eg. Thunderbird) because when answering a report you have to either:

  • scroll horizontally to read the user report
  • rewrap automatically all the email and fuck up the markdown, Schleuder, and log lines

The (Python) code lives at https://git-tails.immerda.ch/whisperback/.

Alan: I marked this as easy but that’s a wild guess. If you think it is not, do you might having it assigned to you?

Wrapping text without knowing in which kind of markup (or lack thereof) it’s written is not that easy. Think about bullet points, numbered lists, verbatim error messages, etc.

Leaving the ticket as easy, though, as it still fits within our definition thereof :)

The text input by the user in the “Bug description” main text area can probably be considered as Markdown. However, the logs etc. from the “Technical details to include” tab MUST NOT be wrapped, as it makes logs much harder to read.

I close this one as duplicate, because there is already a patch on the duplicated ticket, so we better keep that one…
