Add a comment by replying to email not working from iOS Mail app

Email notifications from Bitbucket Issues end with "…add a comment by replying to this email."

It seems this is no longer working when the email is sent from the iOS Mail app. Myself and another person each tried to sent 2 different comments via iOS and none of them showed up.

It worked as expected when sending email from MacOS (default Mail app and MailMate).

Hello @benish and welcome to the Community!

The comment will be added to the issue only when you reply to the original notification email received from Bitbucket.

I was able to reproduce this when replying to a previous reply in the thread. If you reply to a previous reply, the comment won't be added. You need to explicitly select the original notification email and reply to it instead of to the thread.

I hope that helps! Should you have any questions, let us know.

Thank you, @benish !

Hi @Patrik S,

All our tests were replies to an original notification email:

• Someone makes a comment
• Bitbucket sends a notification about that comment
• Someone else replies to that notification

For example:

• This one, from the Mail app on my Mac, worked: https://go.benish.io/Bf5llqFj
• This one, from the Mail app on iOS, did not show up: https://go.benish.io/9ZMPHRcq

From a Mac, the replies showed up; from iOS they don't – all those messages were replies to the original notification.

However, I don't really understand what you mean by "replying to a previous reply in the thread", so maybe I'm missing something? Are you talking about me sending another email by replying to my previous email reply (from my send mail) – something like this: https://go.benish.io/ryqxVNYy
I definitely didn't do that.

We're replying to notification emails that say "…add a comment by replying to this email", and it fails silently from iOS.

Hello @benish ,

thank you for adding the screenshots.

I haven't been able to reproduce this scenario across multiple attempts following the same steps you mentioned in your last comment.

I see the screenshots are back from August 21st, so I would be curious to see if this is still happening if you create a new issue under your repository and ask other user to try replying from iOS to the email notification they receive.

If that still doesn't work, it would be interesting to know:

The version of your iOS
Does it work if you use a different mail client on iOS, other than Apple's default?

Created a new issue in the same repo.

Colleague replied from iOS Mail app and it didn't show up, same as before. Here are the email headers from that failed reply:

I also tried to reply to a comment (which was submitted via the web) from iOS Mail app (latest version of iOS: 17.6.1), and it also did not show up. Headers:

I tried replying via Outlook on iOS, and a comment appeared but it failed spectacularly in a different way by showing a bunch of HTML markup: https://go.benish.io/7VhK3h9Y
