Quoted message appearing in replies

  • Wonderful plugin! I’m really pleased with it, I’ve been waiting for a plugin that could do this for some time and the setup instructions worked without a hitch.

    One problem I’m finding now that everything is set up—your description says that the plugin “strips away the quoted part of the message, so only the reply gets posted to the forum.” However in all my tests replying to a topic, the entirety of the original topic and any text entered in the New Topic/Reply Message/Notice fields is included in the new post to the topic. Only if I manually delete this original text in my reply email does it not appear, which I don’t think I can get all my users to do.

    I’m testing replies from email using Fastmail’s web app using latest version of WordPress and bbPress Post via Mail. I’ve tried sending email replies in both plain text and rich text.

    Hope you can help, thanks!

    It is probably due to reply formatting by your e-mail client. Can you send me a sample of your reply? Just register on the plugin site and post something on the support forum…

    I have tested this plugin with various e-mail clients, but of course there are some out there that were not tested.

    Can you please reply via mail to your post on the test forum from the FastMail app in two mails, one as a plain test one as html. I would like to see if the plain text is producing the same results…

    Thanks in advance.

    (I notice it’s all the lines without a preceding > on the same line that are not parsed out.)
