If the user chooses a connection security option which assures the use of
encryption, then the PLAIN auth. option is labeled "Normal password",
otherwise it is labeled "Password, transmitted insecurely".
This is similar to Thunderbird's behavior.
The server settings for IMAP and POP3 have no such AUTOMATIC setting.
(Nor does Thunderbird have any such setting.)
The AUTOMATIC option is no longer offered to users as a choice. A
pre-existing setting will continue to be honored, but only to the extent
that it doesn't result in insecure password transmission. Users in such a
situation will get a "Failed to send some messages" notification
containing the exception text that says to update their outgoing server
authentication setting.
One of the problems with "AUTOMATIC" is that users may not fully
understand its security implications. For example, a MITM attack could
mask a server's support for STARTTLS and CRAM-MD5, resulting in password
disclosure in certain configurations.
This commit also makes changes to the SMTP authentication process. No
attempt is made to authenticate using methods that the server does not
profess to support in its EHLO response. This is the same behavior as
found in Thunderbird.
AUTOMATIC = "Automatic"
PLAIN = "Normal password"
CRAM_MD5 = "Encrypted password"
SMTP also uses LOGIN. No localized text was associated with that because
a future commit will remove that option.
(The text is similar to that of Thunderbird's)
Also, include the sent-date in the header when using
the "prefix" quote style. "Be like mutt" (and gmail,
and thunderbird)
Also, the quoteOriginalHtmlMessage method was using the mSourceMessage
field in various places when it should be using its originalMessage
parameter.

This string resource is used in two places -- both with and without the
linefeed at the end. Instead of having a linefeed in the string and
having the code remove it if not needed, the linefeed is now omitted from
the string and the code adds it if needed.
Also, the line ending is changed from \n to \r\n.
Also, the string in the DE and FR locales had linefeeds at the start that
were removed so they match all the other locales.
(The string in the zh-rTW locale was left alone, since it had no
linefeeds. It looks like that file has numerous instances where \n was
replaced with actual newlines, which is probably not correct.)

Android allows other apps to access protected content of an app without requesting the
necessary permission when the app returns an Intent with FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION.
This regularly happens as a result of ACTION_GET_CONTENT, i.e. what we use to pick content
to be attached to a message. Accessing that content only works while the receiving activity
is running. Afterwards accessing the content throws a SecurityException because of the
missing permission.
This commit changes K-9 Mail's behavior to copy the content to a temporary file in K-9's
cache directory while the activity is still running.
Fixes issue 4847, 5821
This also fixes bugs related to the fact that K-9 Mail didn't save a copy of attached content
in the message database.
Fixes issue 1187, 3330, 4930
This isn't the best solution. Most of the developers agree that a right-aligned
triangle or arrow would be a better fit for such an indicator. But we currently
don't have the time to write the code to do it.
Personally, I think we should try to get rid of submenus altogether.
This will display the preference title vertically centered. Some
translations still had text for the summary, so their preference title
might need to be changed to adjust for possible loss of information.

Issue 4503: Auto-fit messages option
Don't show a disabled preference if there is nothing a user can do to enable it.
The PREFIX quote style was using an empty line between the header and
the quote. But mail apps using this way of quoting style do not have an
empty line between the quote header and the quote.
This was disabled in faa666394c
because it isn't possible to extract the name of the android
contact in the 'ORDER BY...' clause when querying the database.
Instead it simply sorts by the email address.
This may cause the same contact to appear multiple times in
the list, if they have multiple email addresses assigned.
But in most cases this is good enough and surely better than
not having the option to sort by sender at all.
Desktop mail clients such as Thunderbird also simply use the
sender email information when sorting the column.
This also adds a SenderComparator for usage in the MergeCursor.
by default.
The message view theme isn't something the user is likely to change on a
regular basis, so we don't need to clutter the message view menu with
this setting. The menu item can still be enabled for those who want it.
The commit that introduced those notifications also introduced a rather
... interesting design pattern: The CertificateValidationException
notified the user of its pure existance - it's no longer a 'message'
only, but defines policy. As this is more than unusual, replace this
pattern by the MessagingController treating
CertificateValidationException specially when accessing remote folders.
Also make clear which account failed when constructing the notification.
