Hide the quoted email when display a reply

[DenBond7]

          I also noticed that for every reply ever received in the thread conversation view, the quoted email is permanently shown, whether it is an indented blockquote or uses ">" for the quoted email.

Meanwhile, Gmail and the FlowCrypt browser extension hide the previous conversations/quoted emails and provide a triple-dot icon button that, when clicked, reveals the previous conversation. I just thought it might be something missing or an improvement for UX to help users focus on the important replies first.

I've found how you parse quotes

https://github.com/FlowCrypt/flowcrypt-ios/blob/72cb26b61786a736f91f6dad2c0a42d655410237/FlowCrypt/Functionality/Mail%20Provider/Message%20Provider/ProcessedMessage.swift#L132

Could you tell me how you hide/show quoted text? Do you use JavaScript?

[sosnovsky]

No, it's done natively - we toggle shouldShowQuote flag when user taps ... button.
And depending on shouldShowQuote value we show/hide quoteNode

https://github.com/FlowCrypt/flowcrypt-ios/blob/72cb26b61786a736f91f6dad2c0a42d655410237/FlowCryptUI/Cell%20Nodes/MessageTextSubjectNode.swift#L80

[DenBond7]

And depending on shouldShowQuote value we show/hide quoteNode

private let messageNode = ASEditableTextNode()
private let quoteNode = ASEditableTextNode()

messageNode or quoteNode - is it a view(part of UI, Sorry, I don't know the right terminology) that can show HTML?

You have a separate view to show base content and quoted text. Right?

One more question

On Android, we sanitize received content. We have the following

flowcrypt-android/FlowCrypt/src/main/java/com/flowcrypt/email/security/pgp/PgpMsg.kt

Line 128 in 8349855

private val ALLOWED_ELEMENTS = arrayOf(

flowcrypt-android/FlowCrypt/src/main/java/com/flowcrypt/email/security/pgp/PgpMsg.kt

Line 166 in 8349855

private val ALLOWED_ATTRS = mapOf(

flowcrypt-android/FlowCrypt/src/main/java/com/flowcrypt/email/security/pgp/PgpMsg.kt

Line 178 in 8349855

private val ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS = arrayOf(

Do you have something similar?

Why am I asking? I have to use WebView to show received content because we allow some tags that I can't show inside TextView. Just interesting what is permitted on iOS.
