- To avoid receiving undecryptable MDNs by bots and replying to them if the bot's key changes.
- MDNs from bots don't look useful in general, usually the user expects some reply from the bot, not
just that the message is read.
Recently there are many questions on the Delta Chat forum why some unexpected encrypted messages
appear in Inbox. Seems they are mainly sync messages, though that also obviously happens to
SecureJoin messages. Anyway, regardless of the `MvboxMove` setting, auto-generated outgoing messages
should be moved to the DeltaChat folder so as not to complicate co-using Delta Chat with other MUAs.
This way we can't get an account with missing blobs if there's not enough disk space.
Also delete already unpacked files if all files weren't unpacked successfully. Still, there are some
minor problems remaining:
- If a db wasn't imported successfully, unpacked blobs aren't deleted because we don't know at which
step the import failed and whether the db will reference the blobs after restart.
- If `delete_and_reset_all_device_msgs()` fails, the whole `import_backup()` fails also, but after a
restart delete_and_reset_all_device_msgs() isn't retried. Probably errors from it should be
ignored at all.
There are many reasons why we may fail to find valid signatures in a message, e.g. we don't yet know
a public key attached in the same message, anyway, if From is forged, the message must be rejected.
Also always take the displayname from encrypted From, even if no valid signatures are found.
This is a hint for apps that a WebXDC icon should be shown in the summary, e.g. in the
chatlist. Otherwise it's not clear when it should be shown, e.g. it shouldn't be shown in a reaction
summary.
Follow-up to 3cf78749df "Emit DC_EVENT_MSGS_CHANGED for
DC_CHAT_ID_ARCHIVED_LINK when the number of archived chats with unread messages increases (#3940)".
In general we don't want to make an extra db query to know if a noticied chat is
archived. Emitting events should be cheap, better to allow false-positive `MsgsChanged` events.
`Context::send_sync_msg()` mustn't be called from multiple tasks in parallel to avoid sending the
same sync items twice because sync items are removed from the db only after successful
sending. Let's guarantee this by calling `send_sync_msg()` only from the SMTP loop. Before
`send_sync_msg()` could be called in parallel from the SMTP loop and another task doing
e.g. `chat::sync()` which led to `test_multidevice_sync_chat` being flaky because of events
triggered by duplicated sync messages.
The "Chat-Group-Member-Removed" header is added to ad-hoc group messages as well, so we should check
for its presense before creating an ad-hoc group as we do for DC-style groups.
Before, update sending might be delayed due to rate limits and later merged into large
messages. This is undesirable for apps that want to send large files over WebXDC updates because the
message with aggregated update may be too large for actual sending and hit the provider limit or
require multiple attempts on a flaky SMTP connection.
So, don't aggregate updates if the size of an aggregated update will exceed the limit of 100
KiB. This is a soft limit, so it may be exceeded if a single update is larger and it limits only the
update JSON size, so the message with all envelopes still may be larger. Also the limit may be
exceeded when updates are sent together with the WebXDC instance when resending it as the instance
size isn't accounted to not complicate the code. At least this is not worse than the previous
behaviour when all updates were attached.
Bridge bots like matterdelta need to set a quoted text without referencing the quoted message, this
makes easier bridging messages from other platforms to Delta Chat or even bridging Delta Chat groups
in different accounts where you can not set a quoted message by the message id from another account.
Follow-up to 5fa7cff46. Let's still not send a sync message if the contact wasn't modified. This is
not very important, but just for consistency with the `chat::rename_ex()` behaviour.
This way it's clearer which key is which and also adding the key fingerprint to the file name avoids
overwriting another previously exported key. I think this is better than adding an incremental
number as we do for backups, there's no need to export a key several times to different files.
For purposes of building a message it's better to consider the self-chat as verified. Particularly,
this removes unencrypted name from the "From" header.
If currently there are no multi-device bots, let's disable sync messages for bots at all. Another
option is to auto-disable sync messages when `Config::Bot` is set, so sync messages can be reenabled
if needed. But let's leave this option for the future.
It's possible that when rebasing a PR adding a migration a merge-conflict doesn't occur if another
migration was added in the target branch. Better to have at least runtime checks that the migration
version is correct. Looks like compile-time checks are not possible because Rust doesn't allow to
redefine constants, only vars.
Bot processes are run asynchronously, so we shouldn't send messages to a bot before it's fully
initialised and skipped existing messages for processing, i.e. before DC_EVENT_IMAP_INBOX_IDLE is
emitted.
Looks like it has no sense to send any profile data (From/To names, self-status; self-avatar was
never sent even before) in MDNs, they aren't normal messages and aren't seen in a MUA. Better not to
reveal profile data to the network and even to contacts in MDNs and make them more lightweight.
Follow-up to b771311593. Since that commit names are not revealed in
verified chats, but during verification (i.e. SecureJoin) they are still sent unencrypted. Moreover,
all profile data mustn't be sent even encrypted before the contact verification, i.e. before
"v{c,g}-request-with-auth". That was done for the selfavatar in
304e902fce, now it's done for From/To names and the self-status as
well. Moreover, "v{c,g}-request" and "v{c,g}-auth-required" messages are deleted right after
processing, so other devices won't see the received profile data anyway.
Probably sync messages generated for a not yet configured account are useless because there are no
other devices yet. And even if this is not true, we don't want to depend on the order of setting
`Config::SyncMsgs` and other keys. Also w/o this the Python tests don't work if we start syncing
`Config::MvboxMove` because they don't expect that sync messages are sent while configuring
accounts.
NB: We don't restart IO from the synchronisation code, so `MvboxMove` isn't effective immediately if
`ConfiguredMvboxFolder` is unset, but only after a reconnect to IMAP.
Before, if the user deleted a message too quickly after sending, it was deleted only locally. The
fix is to remember for tombstones that the corresponding message should be deleted on the server
too.
This is a way to prevent redownloading locally deleted messages. Otherwise if a message is deleted
quickly after sending and `bcc_self` is configured, the BCC copy is downloaded and appears as a new
message as it happens for messages sent from another device.
Delta Chat -style groups have names w/o prefixes like "Re: " even if the user is added to an already
existing group, so let's remove prefixes from ad-hoc group names too. Usually it's not very
important that the group is a classic email thread existed before, this info just eats up screen
space. Also this way a group name is likely to preserve if the first message was missed.
SQLite search with `LIKE` is case-insensitive only for ASCII chars. To make it case-insensitive for
all messages, create a new column `msgs.txt_normalized` defaulting to `NULL` (so we do not bump up
the database size in a migration) and storing lowercased/normalized text there when the row is
created/updated. When doing a search, search over `IFNULL(txt_normalized, txt)`.
Before, if `Config::FetchExistingMsgs` is set, existing messages were received with the `InSeen`
state set, but for bots they must be `InFresh` and also `IncomingMsg` events should be emitted for
them so that they are processed by bots as it happens with new messages.
Otherwise it's impossible to remove a member with missing key from a protected group. In the worst
case a removed member will be added back due to the group membership consistency algo.
The "I left the group" message can't be sent to a protected group if some member's key is missing,
in this case we should remain in the group. The problem should be fixed first, then the user may
retry to leave the group.
There was a comment in `fetch_existing_msgs()`: "Bots don't want those messages". If a bot doesn't
want this setting, why enable it? It's disabled by default anyway.
`IsChatmail` is set also by `inbox_fetch_idle()`, but it isn't called during `configure()`. Setting
`IsChatmail` from `inbox_fetch_idle()` is necessary to handle client/server upgrades, but
`IsChatmail` also should be available for the app after configuring an account, e.g. DC Android
needs it to know whether to ask the user to disable battery optimisations.
When doing an AEAP transition, we mustn't just delete the old peerstate as this would break
encryption to it. This is critical for non-verified groups -- if we can't encrypt to the old
address, we can't securely remove it from the group (to add the new one instead).
It's actually `deltachat::contact::Contact::authname` by semantics. `display_name`/`name` shouldn't
be shared, it's the name given by the user locally.

This protects Bob (the joiner) of sending unexpected-unencrypted messages during an otherwise nicely
running SecureJoin.
If things get stuck, however, we do not want to block communication -- the chat is just
opportunistic as usual, but that needs to be communicated:
1. If Bob's chat with Alice is `Unprotected` and a SecureJoin is started, then add info-message
"Establishing guaranteed end-to-end encryption, please wait..." and let `Chat::can_send()` return
`false`.
2. Once the info-message "Messages are guaranteed to be e2ee from now on" is added, let
`Chat::can_send()` return `true`.
3. If after SECUREJOIN_WAIT_TIMEOUT seconds `2.` did not happen, add another info-message "Could not
yet establish guaranteed end-to-end encryption but you may already send a message" and also let
`Chat::can_send()` return `true`.
Both `2.` and `3.` require the event `ChatModified` being sent out so that UI pick up the change wrt
`Chat::can_send()` (this is the same way how groups become updated wrt `can_send()` changes).
SECUREJOIN_WAIT_TIMEOUT should be 10-20 seconds so that we are reasonably sure that the app remains
active and receiving also on mobile devices. If the app is killed during this time then we may need
to do step 3 for any pending Bob-join chats (right now, Bob can only join one chat at a time).
`ChatId::lookup_by_contact()` returns `None` for blocked chats, so it should be only used if we need
to filter out blocked chats, e.g. when building a chatlist.
E.g. the multi-device synchronisation creates the "Saved Messages" chat as blocked, in this case the
chat icon wasn't updated before and the user avatar was displayed instead.
Otherwise, e.g. if a message is a large GIF, but its viewtype is set to `Image` by the app, this GIF
will be recoded to JPEG to reduce its size. GIFs and other special viewtypes must be always detected
and sent as is.
... and fails if file already exists. The UI should open the file saving dialog, defaulting to
Downloads and original filename, when asked to save the file. After confirmation it should call
dc_msg_save_file().
This way we avoid an immediate retry if the network is not yet ready exhausting the ratelimiter's
quota of two connection attempts. Also notify the ratelimiter only after a successful connection so
that it only limits the server load, but not connection attempts.
As trashed messages can't be loaded from the db now by `Message::load_from_db()` returning an error
for such messages, errors from `Message::load_from_db()` should be logged as warnings. If it's
really an error like a db failure, it should be logged internally.
As trashed messages can't be loaded from the db now, `get_message_by_id()` returns None in some
tests e.g. in `test_deleted_msgs_dont_reappear()`. A `PerAccount` hook shouldn't be called if so.
There's no need to load an updated message state from the db to implement `is_outgoing()` and also
this function is implicitly called in some tests where a message is already trashed and a call to
`dc_get_msg()` generates an unexpected error.
This fixes things for Gmail f.e. Before, `Imap::fetch_move_delete()` was called before looking for
Trash and returned an error because of that failing the whole `fetch_idle()` which prevented
configuring Trash in turn.
If `delete_device_after` is configured, that period should be counted for webxdc instances from the
last status update, otherwise nothing prevents from deleting them. Use `msgs.timestamp_rcvd` to
store the last status update timestamp, it anyway isn't used for anything except displaying a
detailed message info. Also, as `ephemeral::select_expired_messages()` now also checks
`timestamp_rcvd`, we have an improvement that a message is guaranteed not to be deleted for the
`delete_device_after` period since its receipt. Before only the sort timestamp was checked which is
derived from the "sent" timestamp.
Let's add a 1-minute tolerance to `Params::MemberListTimestamp`.
This adds to the group membership consistency algo the following properties:
- If remote group membership changes were made by two members in parallel, both of them are applied,
no matter in which order the messages are received.
- If we remove a member locally, only explicit remote member additions/removals made in parallel are
allowed, but not the synchronisation of the member list from "To". Before, if somebody managed to
reply earlier than receiving our removal of a member, we added it back which doesn't look good.
- Always emit `ContactsChanged` from `contact::update_last_seen()` if a contact was seen recently
just for simplicity and symmetry with `RecentlySeenLoop::run()` which also may emit several events
for single contact.
- Fix sleep time calculation in `RecentlySeenLoop::run()` -- `now` must be updated on every
iteration, before the initial value was used every time which led to progressively long sleeps.
Instead, look up the 1:1 chat in `receive_imf::add_parts()`. This is a more generic approach to fix
assigning outgoing reactions to 1:1 chats in the multi-device setup. Although currently both
approaches give the same result, this way we can even implement a "react privately"
functionality. Maybe it sounds useless, but it seems better to have less reaction-specific code.
Don't attach selfavatar in "v{c,g}-request" and "v{c,g}-auth-required" messages:
- These messages are deleted right after processing, so other devices won't see the avatar.
- It's also good for privacy because the contact isn't yet verified and these messages are auto-sent
unlike usual unencrypted messages.
Add white background instead of the default black one to avatars when recoding to JPEG. But not for
"usual" images to spare the CPU. The motivation is to handle correctly
"black-on-transparent-background" avatars which are quite common.
`Param::MemberListTimestamp` was updated only from `receive_imf::apply_group_changes()` i.e. for
received messages. If we sent a message, that timestamp wasn't updated, so remote group membership
changes always overrode local ones. Especially that was a problem when a message is sent offline so
that it doesn't incorporate recent group membership changes.
