When replying or forwarding an email currently (OS 2.0.0.10) includes the message but not a useful header.

The included message is separated with a newline added: --- Original Message --- Meaning the recipient is missing information of the original sender and date/time of that message.

In many cases, especially in professional use, it is necessary to have the complete message header. In specific, it should include:

  • From: ...
  • Date: ...
  • Subject: ...
  • To: ...

  • Cc: ...

    Edit: this has not been corrected in 2.1.0.9

Weird, I was sure I voted for this before. Replying includes enough information as far as I'm concerned, but forwarding without any indication who sent the original message is ridiculous. I keep having to add "x sent this" to every email I forward. Let's hope Jolla finally follow up on their promise of freeing more source code so this can be one of the first things someone fixes.

Seems like I voted for another question about the same problem: https://together.jolla.com/question/54276/forwarding-e-mail-header-not-included/

I'll close that one in favour of this considering this one has twice the amount of votes.

should be an option in email app settings, include previous email, or create threaded conversations / chained conversations;
