The preceding commit resulted in attachments of type message/rfc822 being
sent with 8bit encoding even when the SMTP server did not support
8BITMIME. This commit assures that messages will be converted to 7bit
when necessary.
A new interface CompositeBody was created that extends Body, and classes
Message and Multipart were changed from implementing Body to
CompositeBody. Additional classes BinaryTempFileMessageBody and
LocalAttachmentMessageBody were created (by extending BinaryTempFileBody
and LocalAttachmentBody, respectively), and they too implement
CompositeBody.
A CompositeBody is a Body containing a composite-type that can contain
subparts that may require recursive processing when converting from 8bit
to 7bit. The Part to which a CompositeBody belongs is only permitted to
use 8bit or 7bit encoding for the CompositeBody.
Previously, a Message was created so that it was 7bit clean by default
(even though that meant base64 encoding all attachments, including
messages). Then, if the SMTP server supported 8BITMIME,
Message.setEncoding("8bit") was called so that bodies of type TextBody
would been transmitted using 8bit encoding rather than quoted-printable.
Now, messages are created with 8bit encoding by default. Then, if the
SMTP server does not support 8BITMIME, Message.setUsing7bitTransport is
called to recursively convert the message and its subparts to 7bit. The
method setUsing7bitTransport was added to the interfaces Part and
CompositeBody.
setEncoding no longer iterates over parts in Multipart. That task belongs
to setUsing7bitTransport, which may in turn call setEncoding on the parts.
MimeUtility.getEncodingforType was created as a helper function for
choosing a default encoding that should be used for a given MIME type when
an attachment is added to a message (either while composing or when
retrieving from LocalStore).
setEncoding was implemented in MimeBodyPart to assure that the encoding
set in the Part's headers was the same as set for the Part's Body. (The
method already existed in MimeMessage, which has similarities with
MimeBodyPart.)
MimeMessage.parse(InputStream in, boolean recurse) was implemented so that
the parser could be told to recursively process nested messages read from
the InputStream, thus giving access to all subparts at any level that may
need to be converted from 8bit to 7bit.
The problem: Receive a message with an attachment of type message/rfc822
and forward it. When the message is sent, K-9 Mail uses base64 encoding
for the attachment. (Alternatively, you could compose a new message and
add such an attachment from a file using a filing-picking app, but that is
not 100% effective because the app may not choose the correct
message/rfc822 MIME type for the attachment.)
Such encoding is prohibited per RFC 2046 (5.2.1) and RFC 2045 (6.4). Only
8bit or 7bit encoding is permitted for attachments of type message/rfc822.
Thunderbird refuses to decode such attachments. All that is shown is the
base64 encoded body.
This commit implements LocalAttachmentBody.setEncoding. If an attachment
to a newly composed message is itself a message, then setEncoding("8bit")
is called, otherwise setEncoding("base64") is called for the attachment.
Similar behavior occurs when an attachment is retrieved from LocalStore.
The setEncoding method was added to the Body interface, since all
implementations of Body now declare the method.
The problem here differs from that in the preceding commit: Here, the
encoding problem occurs on sending, not on receipt. Here, the entire
message (headers and body) is base64 encoded, not just the body. Here,
the headers correctly identify the encoding used; it's just that the RFC
does not permit such encoding of attached messages. The problem here
could in fact occur in combination with the preceding problem.
If you attempted to use SSL to connect to a server that speaks
STARTTLS, you should get an SSL protocol error. Instead, you
were likely to get an "Unrecognized Certificate" error that shows
you an unrelated certificate chain and asks you to accept it or
reject it. Neither action would work because the actual problem
had nothing to do with certificates. The unrelated certificate
chain that popped up had been statically stored when validating
a prior connection to a different server.
With this patch, certificate chains are no longer stored statically
when validating server connections.
Issue 5886 is an example of a user experiencing this problem.
Previously the app crashed when upgrading the database failed. Now we
reset the database version and run the upgrade code again (recreating
all tables).
This requires another database schema change. With this change messages
at the root of a thread reference themselves in the 'threads' table,
i.e. 'root' contains the value of 'id' for these messages. It makes
selecting all messages in a thread much simpler.
Database updates can be surprisingly slow. This lead to slow updates of
the user interface which in turn made working with K-9 Mail not as fun
as it should be. This commit hopefully changes that.
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.
With this fix, a CertPathValidatorException or CertificateException will
create a "Certificate error: Check your server settings" notification
in the status bar. When the user clicks on the notification, they are
taken to the appropriate server settings screen where they can review their
settings and can accept a different server certificate.
This changes the interface to MessagingController and the way flags are
updated in the database. Now messages aren't changed one by one but in
batches of 500. This should give better performance, but breaks the
unread and flagged count. I'm not very sad about this, because now we
can move towards only displaying the number of unread/flagged messages
in the local database.
Missing:
- UI support for threading when polling
- code to upgrade existing installations
- UI elements to switch from/to threaded display mode
- threading of messages with same subject

More cleanup
Code Cleanup getRemoteSearchFullText -> isRemoteSearchFullText line wraps for preference items
Refactor to allow fetching of extra search results beyond original request. Most code moved out of ImapStore and ImapFolder and into MessagingController.searchRemoteMessagesSynchronous. Should make it easier to add remoteSearch for other server types.

Basic IMAP search working
On my emulator, it takes 70ms instead of 250ms.
On a very specific hardware, it takes 0,5s instead of 4,1s.
I willingly did not indent the code between my try/catch (for the patch to be readable).
