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

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
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").

https://www.geogebra.org/calculator, both of which came to the same
result

- This [is said to lead improve compilation
speed](https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/27/delete-cargo-integration-tests.html#Assorted-Tricks)
- When grepping for a function invocation, this makes it easy to see whether it's from a test or "real" code
- We're calling the files e.g. `chat_tests.rs` instead of `tests.rs` for the same reason why we moved `imap/mod.rs` to `imap.rs`: Otherwise, your editor always shows you that you're in the file `tests.rs` and you don't know which one.
This is only moving mimeparser and chat tests, because these were the
biggest files; we can move more files in subsequent PRs if we like it.
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.
Otherwise the "Show Full Message..." button appears somewhere in the middle of the multipart
message, e.g. after a text in the first message bubble, but before a text in the second
bubble. Moreover, if the second/n-th bubble's text is shortened (ends with "[...]"), the user should
scroll up to click on "Show Full Message..." which doesn't look reasonable. Scrolling down looks
more acceptable (e.g. if the first bubble's text is shortened in a multipart message).
I'd even suggest to show somehow that message bubbles belong to the same multipart message, e.g. add
"[↵]" to the text of all bubbles except the last one, but let's discuss this first.
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.
This fixes HTML display of truncated (long) sent messages ("Show full message" in UIs). Before,
incorrect HTML was stored (with missing line breaks etc.) for them. Now stored plaintext is
formatted to HTML upon calling `MsgId::get_html()` and this results in the same HTML as on a
receiver side.
Already apply rust beta (1.84) clippy suggestions now, before they let
CI fail in 6 weeks.
The newly used functions are available since 1.70, our MSRV is 1.77, so
we can use them.
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.
close#2338
Concat error messages when receiving new ndns.
This PR adds a newline followed by the new NDN error to the error text.
Maybe we should use something more prominent like
```
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
```
or more newlines, but I'm not sure. This maybe has to be tested on a
real device to see what works best.
0a63083df7 (fix: Shorten message text in locally sent messages too)
sets `msgs.mime_modified` for long outgoing messages, but forgets to save full message text.
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.
If a display name should be protected (i.e. opportunistically encrypted), only put the corresponding
address to the unprotected headers. We protect the From display name only for verified chats,
otherwise this would be incompatible with Thunderbird and K-9 who don't use display names from the
encrypted part. Still, we always protect To display names as compatibility seems less critical here.
When receiving a messge, overwrite the From display name but not the whole From field as that would
allow From forgery. For the To field we don't really care. Anyway as soon as we receive a message
from the user, the display name will be corrected.

If multiple headers with the same name are present,
we must take the last one.
This is the one that is DKIM-signed if
this header is DKIM-signed at all.
Ideally servers should prevent adding
more From, To and Cc headers by oversigning
them, but unfortunately it is not common
and OpenDKIM in its default configuration
does not oversign any headers.
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).
`a.clone_from(&b)` is equivalent to `a = b.clone()` in functionality,
but can be overridden to reuse the resources of a to avoid unnecessary
allocations.
