This change simplifies
updating the gossip timestamps
when we receive a message
because we only need to know
the keys received in Autocrypt-Gossip
header and which chat the message is
assigned to.
We no longer need to iterate
over the member list.
This is a preparation
for PGP contacts
and member lists that contain
key fingerprints rather than
email addresses.
This change also removes encryption preference
from Autocrypt-Gossip header.
It SHOULD NOT be gossiped
according to the Autocrypt specification
and we ignore encryption preference anyway
since 1.157.0.
test_gossip_optimization is removed
because it relied on a per-chat gossip_timestamp.
Broadcast lists are encrypted since 1.159.0,
but Autocrypt-Gossip was not disabled.
As Autocrypt-Gossip contains the email address
and the key of the recipient, it should
not be sent to broadcast lists.
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
it was all the time questionable if not encrypting broadcast lists
rules the issue that recipients may know each other cryptographically.
however, meanwhile with chatmail, unncrypted broadcasts are no longer possible,
and we actively broke workflows eg. from this teacher:
https://support.delta.chat/t/broadcast-funktioniert-nach-update-nicht-meht/3694
this basically reverts commit
7e5907daf2
which was that time added last-minute and without lots discussions :)
let the students get their homework again :)
Add "Chat-Group-Name-Timestamp" message header and use the last-write-wins logic when updating group
names (similar to group member timestamps). Note that if the "Chat-Group-Name-Changed" header is
absent though, we don't add a system message (`MsgGrpNameChangedBy`) because we don't want to blame
anyone.
> _greetings from the ice of the deutsche bahn 🚂🚃🚃🚃 always a pleasure to
see how well delta chat meanwhile performs in bad networks :)_
this PR adds an API to request other chat members to replace the message
text of an already sent message. scope is mainly to fix typos. this
feature is known from whatsapp, telegram, signal, and is
[requested](https://support.delta.chat/t/retract-edit-sent-messages/1918)
[since](https://support.delta.chat/t/edit-messages-in-delta-chat/899)
[years](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/198).
technically, a message with an
[`Obsoletes:`](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2076#section-3.6)
header is sent out.
```
From: alice@nine
To: bob@nine
Message-ID: 2000@nine
In-Reply-To: 1000@nine
Obsoletes: 1000@nine
Edited: this is the new text
```
the body is the new text, prefixed by the static text `Edited:` (which
is not a header). the latter is to make the message appear more nicely
in Non-Delta-MUA. save for the `In-Reply-To` header. the `Edited:`
prefix is removed by Delta Chat on receiving.
headers should be protected and moved to e2ee part as usual.
corrected message text is flagged, and UI should show this state, in
practise as "Edited" beside the date.
in case, the original message is not found, nothing happens and the
correction message is trashes (assuming the original was deleted).
question: is the `Obsoletes:` header a good choice? i _thought_ there is
some more specifica RFC, but i cannot find sth. in any case, it should
be an header that is not used otherwise by MUA, to make sure no wanted
messages disappear.
what is NOT done and out of scope:
- optimise if messages are not yet sent out. this is doable, but
introduces quite some cornercaes and may not be worth the effort
- replaces images or other attachments. this is also a bit cornercasy
and beyond "typo fixing", and better be handled by "delete for me and
others" (which may come soon, having the idea now, it seems easy :)
- get edit history in any way. not sure if this is worth the effort,
remember, as being a private messenger, we assume trust among chat
members. it is also questionable wrt privacy, seized devices etc.
- add text where nothing was before; again, scope is "typo fixing",
better avoid cornercases
- saved messages are not edited (this is anyway questionable)
- quoted texts, that are used for the case the original message is
deleted, are not updated
- edits are ignored when the original message is not there yet (out of
order, not yet downloaded)
- message status indicator does not show if edits are sent out or not -
similar to reactions, webxdc updates, sync messages. signal has the same
issue :) still, connectivity should show if there are messages pending

When receiving messages, blobs will be deduplicated with the new
function `create_and_deduplicate_from_bytes()`. For sending files, this
adds a new function `set_file_and_deduplicate()` instead of
deduplicating by default.
This is for
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/6265; read the
issue description there for more details.
TODO:
- [x] Set files as read-only
- [x] Don't do a write when the file is already identical
- [x] The first 32 chars or so of the 64-character hash are enough. I
calculated that if 10b people (i.e. all of humanity) use DC, and each of
them has 200k distinct blob files (I have 4k in my day-to-day account),
and we used 20 chars, then the expected value for the number of name
collisions would be ~0.0002 (and the probability that there is a least
one name collision is lower than that) [^1]. I added 12 more characters
to be on the super safe side, but this wouldn't be necessary and I could
also make it 20 instead of 32.
- Not 100% sure whether that's necessary at all - it would mainly be
necessary if we might hit a length limit on some file systems (the
blobdir is usually sth like
`accounts/2ff9fc096d2f46b6832b24a1ed99c0d6/dc.db-blobs` (53 chars), plus
64 chars for the filename would be 117).
- [x] "touch" the files to prevent them from being deleted
- [x] TODOs in the code
For later PRs:
- Replace `BlobObject::create(…)` with
`BlobObject::create_and_deduplicate(…)` in order to deduplicate
everytime core creates a file
- Modify JsonRPC to deduplicate blob files
- Possibly rename BlobObject.name to BlobObject.file in order to prevent
confusion (because `name` usually means "user-visible-name", not "name
of the file on disk").
[^1]: Calculated with both https://printfn.github.io/fend/ and
https://www.geogebra.org/calculator, both of which came to the same
result

This implements new group consistency algorithm described in
<https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/6401>
New `Chat-Group-Member-Timestamps` header is added
to send timestamps of member additions and removals.
Member is part of the chat if its addition timestamp
is greater or equal to the removal timestamp.
First of all, chatmail servers normally forbid to send unencrypted mail, so if we know the peer's
key, we should encrypt to it. Chatmail setups have `E2eeEnabled=1` by default and this isn't
possible to change in UIs, so this change fixes the chatmail case. Additionally, for chatmail, if a
peer has `EncryptPreference::Reset`, let's handle it as `EncryptPreference::NoPreference` for the
reason above. Still, if `E2eeEnabled` is 0 for a chatmail setup somehow, e.g. the user set it via
environment, let's assume that the user knows what they do and ignore `IsChatmail` flag.
NB:
- If we don't know the peer's key, we should try to send an unencrypted message as before for a
chatmail setup.
- This change doesn't remove the "majority rule", but now the majority with
`EncryptPreference::NoPreference` can't disable encryption if the local preference is `Mutual`. To
disable encryption, some peer should have a missing peerstate or, for the non-chatmail case, the
majority should have `EncryptPreference::Reset`.
Text parts are using quoted-printable encoding
which takes care of wrapping long lines,
so using format=flowed is unnecessary.
This improves compatibility with receivers
which do not support format=flowed.
Receiving format=flowed messages is still possible, receiver side of
Delta Chat is unchanged.
This change adds support for receiving
Autocrypt header in the protected part of encrypted message.
Autocrypt header is now also allowed in mailing lists.
Previously Autocrypt header was rejected when
List-Post header was present,
but the check for the address being equal to the From: address
is sufficient.
New experimental `protect_autocrypt` config is disabled
by default because Delta Chat with reception
support should be released first on all platforms.
Instead of treating NULL type error
as absence of the row,
handle NULL values with SQL.
Previously we sometimes
accidentally treated a single column
being NULL as the lack of the whole row.
Why:
- With IMAP APPEND we can upload messages directly to the DeltaChat folder (for non-chatmail
accounts).
- We can set the `\Seen` flag immediately so that if the user has other MUA, it doesn't alert about
a new message if it's just a sync message (there were several such reports on the support
forum). Though this also isn't useful for chatmail.
- We don't need SMTP envelope and overall remove some overhead on processing sync messages.
If a displayname equals to the address, adding it looks excessive.
Moreover, it's not useful for Delta Chat receiving the message because
`sanitize_name_and_addr()` removes such a displayname anyway. Also now
at least DC Android requires specifying profile name, so there should be
a fallback for users having meaningful addresses to keep the old
behaviour when Core generates `From` w/o the profile name, and this
question has already appeared on the forum.
`chat::create_send_msg_jobs()` already handles `Config::BccSelf` as needed. The only exception is
Autocrypt setup messages. This change unifies the logic for the self-chat and groups only containing
`SELF`.
This ensures we don't add multiple Auto-Submitted headers
when bots send vg-request or vc-request messages.
The change fixes failing
receive_imf::tests::test_bot_accepts_another_group_after_qr_scan
test.
This fixes the bug that sometimes made QR scans fail.
The problem was:
When sorting headers into unprotected/hidden/protected, the From: header
was added twice for all messages: Once into unprotected_headers and once
into protected_headers. For messages that are `is_encrypted && verified
|| is_securejoin_message`, the display name is removed before pushing it
into unprotected_headers.
Later, duplicate headers are removed from unprotected_headers right
before prepending unprotected_headers to the message. But since the
unencrypted From: header got modified a bit when removing the display
name, it's not exactly the same anymore, so it's not removed from
unprotected_headers and consequently added again.
I.e. to all messages except "v{c,g}-request" as they sent out on a QR code scanning which is a
manual action and "vg-member-added" as formally this message is auto-submitted, but the member
addition is a result of an explicit user action. Otherwise it would be strange to have the
Auto-Submitted header in "member-added" messages of verified groups only.
- 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.
