Every message ihasmail sent set cc, bcc and replyTo to null when unused, and
inReplyTo/references likewise on a new message. Stalwart parses those
properties with try_into_address_list, which returns None for null, and the
create is rejected outright:
if let Some(addresses) = value.try_into_address_list() { ... }
else { response.invalid_property_create(id, header); continue 'create; }
So every send failed with "Invalid property or value.", new messages and
replies alike, regardless of attachments or signature. The mock server
accepts anything, which is why this only showed up against a real server.
Empty header properties are now omitted. On a create there is no previous
value to clear, so null was never needed - only the properties actually being
set belong in the object.
buildEmailObject is exported so the shape can be tested directly, with a
regression test that no property is ever null.
"Send failed: Invalid property or value." is Stalwart's description for
invalidProperties, and on its own it says nothing about what to fix. The
SetError also carries a `properties` array naming the offending fields, which
every call site was discarding.
setErrorMessage appends them, and the 35 places that surfaced a SetError -
send, save draft, mailboxes, calendars, contacts, sieve, files, signature
images, sharing - now go through it.
Messages render on a white card in every theme. That is deliberate for mail
that styles itself, but #4 points out the case it gets wrong: a message with
no styling of its own has nothing worth preserving, and flashing white at
someone reading in the dark is a real cost.
Appearance gains a switch under the theme cards, off by default so the
current behaviour is unchanged. With it on, HTML mail that declares no
colours follows the app theme; mail that sets a background or text colour
still gets the light card it was designed for, because half-darkening someone
else's design is worse than leaving it alone. Plain-text mail already
followed the theme and is untouched by the switch.
The themed palette is expressed in the app's own custom properties, which
cross the shadow boundary, so switching theme repaints open messages without
re-rendering them, and the accent-coloured link stays consistent. The host
element takes color-scheme: inherit so form controls and scrollbars inside a
message match too.
htmlDeclaresColors covers bgcolor attributes, <font color>, and colour or
background declarations in style attributes and <style> blocks, while
ignoring near-misses like border-color and ?color= in a URL.
Closes#4
Settings > General gains a "Default mail app" section that calls
registerProtocolHandler so mail links anywhere in the browser open ihasmail.
The browser owns the decision and there is no API to read it back, so the UI
says what it can: it records that we asked, offers "Ask again", shows a
Remove button where unregisterProtocolHandler exists, and points at the
browser's own settings. Unsupported browsers (Safari) and insecure contexts
get an explanation instead of a dead button.
The manifest now declares protocol_handlers for mailto, which is the route by
which an *installed* app can be offered by the operating system itself; the
UI says so and links the two ideas rather than promising a system-wide
default the page cannot grant.
Mailto parsing is now one function (parseMailto in lib/address.ts) instead of
three hand-rolled copies in AppShell and MessageView. It follows RFC 6068:
recipients from the path, the to= header or both, case-insensitive headers,
"+" as space, and tolerant of malformed escapes. That fixes Cc and Bcc being
silently dropped, and draftFromMailto escapes the body so a mailto: URL from
an untrusted page reaches the composer as text rather than markup.
Every user-visible date now goes through web/src/lib/datetime.ts, driven by
three settings (Settings > General > Locale):
- Language & region: automatic, or any of the 618 locales CLDR has data for,
each named in its own language and script (web/src/lib/locales.ts, generated
by probing Intl over the subtag space).
- Date format: automatic (locale order), 22.11.2025, 22/11/2025, 11/22/2025,
or ISO 8601 2025-11-22.
- Time format: automatic (locale), 24-hour, or 12-hour.
Automatic takes the locale Stalwart has for the account, read best-effort at
login via x:Account/get (urn:stalwart:jmap) and passed to the client in the
session; servers without the capability, or that deny sysAccountGet to a
regular user, fall back to the browser locale. POSIX forms are normalised
(de_DE.UTF-8 -> de-DE) and script modifiers kept (sr_RS@latin -> sr-Latn-RS,
uz_UZ@cyrillic -> uz-Cyrl-UZ), while dialect/variant/currency modifiers are
dropped and a script the locale already implies is not appended.
Numerals follow the locale (22.11.2025 renders as Arabic-Indic digits under
ar-EG); ISO 8601 is the exception and pins date and clock to Latin digits so
one line never mixes digit systems.
Rewired: message list and headers, quoted reply headers, calendar (titles,
weekday and hour gutters, mini calendar, agenda, popovers, invite cards,
free/busy), contacts, files, sessions. No raw toLocale*String date calls are
left in web/src.
Native <input type="datetime-local"> pickers always follow the browser locale
and cannot be restyled by a page, so the out-of-office fields echo the entered
instant in the chosen format underneath.
Also: month-grid day labels no longer wrap when they hold a date, and the mock
server serves x:Account/get (MOCK_LOCALE, default en_US).
Closes#1
- Move the expand chevron into a gutter left of the folder icon so folders
with and without subfolders line up on their icon; labels share the column.
- Add "Mark all as read, incl. subfolders" to the folder context menu, with
the affected count and a per-folder fallback for servers without filter
operators.
- Re-measure the virtualised message list when row height changes.
- Mock: seed unread mail in a subfolder.
