Comments from Email

Question

I am using Jira 5.0.6 version and configured comment issue service handler on our instance. When I reply to an issue by adding multiple lines, it is creating a new blank white line between every line and loosing the original format. Please see the attachment for more details. Anyone else faced this problem. I use MsOutlook 2010 to comment on an issue. The content of the message contains newline in Jira issue. Any recommendatiosn for fixing this issue?

Thanks Paulo for your response. Commenting on an issue via e-mail is working fine for me, I am using "Split Regex: /^From:*/" in the comment issue handler. As I mentioned in my original post it is creating a white space between every line when the outlook client format is html, I am not sure from where these white space are getting created.

Hi Ramesh

I believe that this error could be related to the OE message format. Regarding the following link, there's a format which is not properly recognized by other application than a Microsoft one (RTF).

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-or-plain-text-HP001232996.aspx

Also, I've found a known improvement requesting a better support for reply emails from OE, which seems to be related to it. Please vote for it:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-14543

So, just as a double check, please try to change the email format.

Cheers,
