[WD26] Known bugs of the new HTML_Edit control by using E-Mails

Hi,

I played a week with the new HTML_Edit control. I´m developing a new helpdesk system for our company, so we get a lot of Emails from the user (most o365 / outlook)

First of all, it works so far. But we found 2 bugs, that could be difficult to find.
One of them I send to PC Soft, but they don´t understand the problem and I give up to do that in the future.

Here are the the results of our investigation:

1. Base Href Problem

Sometimes users send Emails with screenshot in the body. We found that sometimes a tag called "baseref" exist inside the email (snippet tool of windows) , witch overrides the ..workingdirectory property of the control and none of the images are displayed. We deleted the tag and the probem was solved.

//Base Href Problem ----------------
sText			= ExtractStringBetween(sMailtext,1,"<base href=",">",IgnoreCase)
sErgebnistext	= Replace(sMailtext,"<base href="+sText+">","",IgnoreCase)

2. CID: Problem

Sometimes the "emailread" (pop3) works incorrect. Every image which is linked in the mail body has something like that:

src="cid:image004.jpg@01D7B5F3.DFC9E570">

Windev creates sometimes a second dot like that

src="cid:image004..jpg@01D7B5F3.DFC9E570"> or

src="cid:image004.jpg@01D7B5F3..DFC9E570">

The result is that this image is not displayed in the body. The ".." has to replace with "."

//CID: Doppelpunkt Problem------------------
sAlterWert		= ExtractStringBetween(sErgebnistext,firstRank,Charact(34)+"cid:",Charact(34),IgnoreCase)
sNeuerWert		= Replace(sAlterWert,"..",".",IgnoreCase)
sErgebnistext	= Replace(sErgebnistext,sAlterWert,sNeuerWert,IgnoreCase)

WHILE sAlterWert<>EOT
	sAlterWert		= ExtractStringBetween(sErgebnistext,nextRank,Charact(34)+"cid:",Charact(34),IgnoreCase)
	sNeuerWert		= Replace(sAlterWert,"..",".",IgnoreCase)
	sErgebnistext	= Replace(sErgebnistext,sAlterWert,sNeuerWert,IgnoreCase)
END

Hope this helps someone. Its´a pity, that PC Soft found no solution for a really collaboration with the developpers to make the product great again.
