can [QUOTE] blocks be trimmed from emailed message previews?
by metaed from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HKHY)
Message previews are very useful when they preview enough of the new post to let you know whether or not to click the link.
The LQ Spy message previews are great at this because they trim [QUOTE] blocks. The preview begins at the new content. For example, here's a great LQ Spy message preview:
Code:New Post glupa4e Today 14:00 Slackware 15 64 - doublecmd fails to install Slackware
installing libqtpas fixed the issue for me (140 views, 5 replies)But email notifications of new posts include [QUOTE] blocks in the preview, and because those generally come first, that is all you see. It makes 90% of previews unhelpful. For example, here is the unhelpful message preview for the same post used in the first example:
Code:Dear metaed,
glupa4e has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - [SOLVED] Slackware 15 64 - doublecmd fails to install - in the Slackware forum of LinuxQuestions.org.
