When I forward a mail with attachments that are not yet downloaded, the mail recipient recieves the mail without attachments (unexpected). However, when I first download the attachments by clicking the “download the full message” button at the message bottom, then forward the mail, the email recipient recieves the mail with all attachments (expected).
Is it a bug?
As a workaround, I may configure the mail account to set the mail retrieval max size to “any Size”, but thats not very practical.
Yes, I can reproduce it. I would see it as a bug, as I would expect a message box telling you that you have not yet fully downloaded it when you try to forward a not fully downloaded mail.
This bug is always there on version 6.4 on Android 13.
It’s a problem because very often you just want to share attachments without explicitly download each of them manually.
They should be automatically downloaded for the forwarding and remove justafter to be send withoout them.
Or at leat a mssage should inform user that attachments had not been downloaded and they won’t b send with the message
It’s not that easy. Many users on limited data plans have set download limits. If K-9 were to silently download messages to be forwarded, these plan limits may be exceeded, incurring additional costs.
Also, just downloading the body is insufficient. All attachments must also be downloaded in order to forward the entire email.
I would suggest to only automatically download messages for forward if no limits are set. If the user has defined download limits, a warning must be displayed before downloading the message for forwarding.
