team254 / cheesy-mail Goto Github PK

Sometimes I see situations in emails that periods have been duplicated in places. This becomes annoying in links, when the link becomes invalid.

Email messages sent from Gmail (like Matt's blog posts) are embedding images and hosting them on Google servers instead of adding them as attachments. Later, when these are posted on the blog, they sometimes don't display, and who knows how long they will stay hosted at the same URL. The desired behavior is probably for the email server to download all inline images and re-upload them to the Team 254 server, replacing the embed URLs along the way.

See below images not rendering:

When somebody marks as spam, the email responses used to say who it was so we could follow up with them directly. Something about the new replies trims this information from the SES replies.

Would be ideal if we resized images in emails and embedded thumbnails which linked to the full size images (like how wordpress does it).

(Adding this as an issue so that we don't forget about it)

We've had lots of issues lately with emails not going through, or just confusing users with multiple verification steps. We should modify the server so that no secondary verification is necessary, and the emails are consistently sent as a @lists.team254.com address. This will ensure that even emails from @bcp, @yahoo, etc make it through.

To make sure replys get back to the original sender, we can make the reply-to address @lists.team254.com and then put logic into the app to look up the email from the members server and forward those to the appropriate person.

Should be pretty easy to get it to post directly to the general channel with a webhook.
