this PR adds a info message "messages are end-to-end-encrypted" also for
chats created by eg. vcards. by the removal of lock icons, this is a
good place to hint for that in addition; this is also what eg. whatsapp
and others are doing
the wording itself is tweaked at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3817 (and there is
also the rough idea to make the message a little more outstanding, by
some more dedicated colors)
~~did not test in practise, if this leads to double "e2ee info messages"
on secure join, tests look good, however.~~ EDIT: did lots of practise
tests meanwhile :)
most of the changes in this PR are about test ...
ftr, in another PR, after 2.0 reeases, there could probably quite some
code cleanup wrt set-protection, protection-disabled etc.

A donation request device message is added if >= 100 messages have been sent and delivered. The
condition is checked every 30 days since the first message is sent. The message is added only once.
Part of #6884.
The channel owner will not be notified in any way that you left, they
will only see that there is one member less.
For the translated stock strings, this is what we agreed on in the
group:
- Add a new "Leave Channel" stock string (will need to be done in UIs)
- Reword the existing "Are you sure you want to leave this group?"
string to "Are you sure you want to leave?" (the options are "Cancel"
and "Leave Group" / "Leave Channel", so it's clear what you are leaving)
(will need to be done in the deltachat-android repo, other UIs will pick
it up automatically)
- Reword the existing "You left the group." string to "You left". (done
here, I will adapt the strings in deltachat-android, too)
I adapted DC Android by pushing
6df2740884
to https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3783.

- [x] Add new chat type `InBroadcastChannel` and `OutBroadcastChannel`
for incoming / outgoing channels, where the former is similar to a
`Mailinglist` and the latter is similar to a `Broadcast` (which is
removed)
- Consideration for naming: `InChannel`/`OutChannel` (without
"broadcast") would be shorter, but less greppable because we already
have a lot of occurences of `channel` in the code. Consistently calling
them `BcChannel`/`bc_channel` in the code would be both short and
greppable, but a bit arcane when reading it at first. Opinions are
welcome; if I hear none, I'll keep with `BroadcastChannel`.
- [x] api: Add create_broadcast_channel(), deprecate
create_broadcast_list() (or `create_channel()` / `create_bc_channel()`
if we decide to switch)
- Adjust code comments to match the new behavior.
- [x] Ask Desktop developers what they use `is_broadcast` field for, and
whether it should be true for both outgoing & incoming channels (or look
it up myself)
- I added `is_out_broadcast_channel`, and deprecated `is_broadcast`, for
now
- [x] When the user changes the broadcast channel name, immediately show
this change on receiving devices
- [x] Allow to change brodacast channel avatar, and immediately apply it
on the receiving device
- [x] Make it possible to block InBroadcastChannel
- [x] Make it possible to set the avatar of an OutgoingChannel, and
apply it on the receiving side
- [x] DECIDE whether we still want to use the broadcast icon as the
default icon or whether we want to use the letter-in-a-circle
- We decided to use the letter-in-a-circle for now, because it's easier
to implement, and I need to stay in the time plan
- [x] chat.rs: Return an error if the user tries to modify a
`InBroadcastChannel`
- [x] Add automated regression tests
- [x] Grep for `broadcast` and see whether there is any other work I
need to do
- [x] Bug: Don't show `~` in front of the sender's same in broadcast
lists

Note that I removed the following guard:
```rust
if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&ContactId::SELF) {
warn!(
context,
"Received group avatar update for group chat {} we are not a member of.", chat.id
);
} else if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&from_id) {
warn!(
context,
"Contact {from_id} attempts to modify group chat {} avatar without being a member.",
chat.id,
);
} else [...]
```
i.e. with this change, non-members will be able to modify the avatar.
Things were slightly easier this way, and I think that this is in line
with non-members being able to modify the group name and memberlist
(they need to know the Group-Chat-Id, anyway), but I can also change it
back.
This change introduces a new type of contacts
identified by their public key fingerprint
rather than an e-mail address.
Encrypted chats now stay encrypted
and unencrypted chats stay unencrypted.
For example, 1:1 chats with key-contacts
are encrypted and 1:1 chats with address-contacts
are unencrypted.
Groups that have a group ID are encrypted
and can only contain key-contacts
while groups that don't have a group ID ("adhoc groups")
are unencrypted and can only contain address-contacts.
JSON-RPC API `reset_contact_encryption` is removed.
Python API `Contact.reset_encryption` is removed.
"Group tracking plugin" in legacy Python API was removed because it
relied on parsing email addresses from system messages with regexps.

this PR moves now advanced/unsupported ASM strings to core, removing
work from translations, esp. as another hint is added which would
require retranslations. it is better to have that just in english, it is
a nerd feature anyways.
moverover, this PR removes special rendering of ASM in the summary,
which might be confusion, but mainly it is now unneeded, dead code
i'll do another android PR that will point to "Add Second Device"
already on ASM generation EDIT: done at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3726
targets https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/4946
for tuning down email address everywhere, that bit is missing in core.
it was never useful, as it was never shown on the receivers side. and
for the sender side, the context the qr code is opened is clear

instead of showing addresses in info message, provide an API to get the
contact-id.
UI can then make the info message tappable and open the contact profile
in scope
the corresponding iOS PR - incl. **screencast** - is at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/pull/2652 ; jsonrpc can come
in a subsequent PR when things are settled on android/ios
the number of parameters in `add_info_msg_with_cmd` gets bigger and
bigger, however, i did not want to refactor this in this PR. it is also
not really adding complexity

Deduplicate:
- In the REPL
- In `store_from_base64()`, which writes avatars received in headers
- In a few tests
- The saved messages, broadcast, device, archive icons
- The autocrypt setup message
1-2 more PRs, and we can get rid of `BlobObject::create`,
`sanitise_name()`, and some others
A NDN may arrive days after the message is sent when it's already impossible to tell which message
wasn't delivered looking at the "Failed to send" info message, so it only clutters the chat and
makes the user think they tried to send some message recently which isn't true. Moreover, the info
message duplicates the info already displayed in the error message behind the exclamation mark and
info messages do not point to the message that is failed to be sent.
Moreover it works rarely because `mimeparser.rs` only parses recipients from `x-failed-recipients`,
so it likely only works for Gmail. Postfix does not add this `X-Failed-Recipients` header. Let's
remove this parsing too. Thanks to @link2xt for pointing this out.
while adapting strings for the recent change about read receipts,
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5712 , it turns
out in discussions eg. at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/3179 that
untranslated english for the read receipts seem to be sufficient or even
better:
- do not reveal the sender's language
- unexpected languages are confusing - even if you chat in english, you
may get Chinese read receipts
- many clients do not show the text anyways, iirc, eg. Outlook display
the read receipts in context, and Delta Chat of course as well
- afaik, we're leaving comparable `multipart/report` untranslated as
well (sync, but also webxdc updates are practically english only)
- less code, fewer translations needed :)
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).
shows the last reaction in chatlist's summaries if there is no
newer message.
the reason to show reactions in the summary, is to make them a _little_
more visible when one is not in the chat. esp. in not-so-chatty or in
one-to-ones chats this becomes handy: imaging a question and someone
"answers" with "thumbs up" ...
otoh, reactions are still tuned down on purpose: no notifications, chats
are opend as usual, the chatlist is not sorted by reactions and also the
date in the summary refer to the last message - i thought quite a bit
about that, this seems to be good compromise and will raise the fewest
questions. it is somehow clear to the users that reactions are not the
same as a real message. also, it is comparable easy to implement - no
UI changes required :)
all that is very close to what whatsapp is doing (figured that out by
quite some testing ... to cite @adbenitez: if in doubt, we can blame
whatsapp :)
technically, i first wanted to go for the "big solution" and add two
more columns, chat_id and timestamp, however, it seemed a bit bloated if
we really only need the last one. therefore, i just added the last
reaction information to the chat's param, which seems more performant
but also easier to code :)
Currently when a user sets up another device by logging in, a new key is created. If a message is
sent from either device outside, it cannot be decrypted by the other device.
The message is replaced with square bracket error like this:
```
<string name="systemmsg_cannot_decrypt">This message cannot be decrypted.\n\n• It might already help to simply reply to this message and ask the sender to send the message again.\n\n• If you just re-installed Delta Chat then it is best if you re-setup Delta Chat now and choose "Add as second device" or import a backup.</string>
```
(taken from Android repo `res/values/strings.xml`)
If the message is outgoing, it does not help to "simply reply to this message". Instead, we should
add a translatable device message of a special type so UI can link to the FAQ entry about second
device. But let's limit such notifications to 1 per day. And as for the undecryptable message
itself, let it go to Trash if it can't be assigned to a chat by its references.
If the sender of the message in protected group chat
is not a member of the chat, mark the sender name with `~`
as we do it in non-protected chats and set the error
instead of replacing the whole message with
"Unknown sender for this chat. See 'info' for more details."
To send a message to a protected group this way
the sender needs to know the group ID
and sign the message with the current verified key.
Usually this is just a late message
delivered shortly after the user has left
the group or was removed from it.
Replacing the message with a single error text part
as done before this change makes it impossible
to access anything other than text, such as attached images.
Before, it was shown by UI when the chat is empty, however, in case of
verified groups, this is never the case any longer as the 'e2ee now
guaranteed' is always added.
This commit adds new stock strings
"I added member ...",
"I removed member ..." and
"I left the group" that are sent over the network
and are visible in classic MUAs like Thunderbird.
Member name in these messages uses authname
instead of the display name,
so the name set locally does not get leaked when
a member is added or removed.
Message.set_text() and Message.get_text() are modified accordingly
to accept String and return String.
Messages which previously contained None text
are now represented as messages with empty text.
Use Message.set_text("".to_string())
instead of Message.set_text(None).
that way, UI can just close the transfer dialog,
so that, at the end, both devices end in the chatlist.
we can also use this for troubleshooting -
if the device message is not present,
transfer did not succeed completely.
(a separate device message may be nice in that case -
but that is another effort,
same for making the device message reappear after deletion
or after some time)
