something like an extra signature… I like that idea, though we should add a button to disable it to save data for our users in countries where the internet is super expensive.
not sure if non-delta-users users clicking on “reply” instead of “reply all” is really an issue. at least i did not heard much about such problems.
and if this becomes an issue: we could also add some explanations to the “member added” message - this would not waste place in every message, this would not touch customized footer (i am pretty sure, users would not like that) and would not add the need for another, proably hard to explain switch.
Or a other solution (for me) would the possibility to add on my own, different signatures in “settings > profile”.
Currently there is a editable field “signature”.
You could add a pre filled field with the same editable standard text “Sendet with Delta Chat bla bla…” (I don’t know the standard text because I changed for me).
Call this field “signature for group chat messages” or so.
The content of this field is used for the signature for group chat messages.
In this case it’s the same by default as it is at the moment.
So It’s no extra button or another option (to keep the settings section clean and tidy) needed.
Only interested users (like me) will change the signature ever.
But I’m sure I’m not the only one.
And if WhatsApp is ousted by Delta Chat you can remove this extra field
as said, however, i would not add such a hint to the potentially personalized footer and i would also not use a switch for that. both may raise more problems and questions as they try to solve.
i would start adding a hint to the “member added” message and see if things are getting better.
also, email programs tend to hide the footers by default. also not sure, if the users causing the problems will really read such hints.
Not sure if this is the solution.
Most times they forget this if I write after a couple of days or weeks in a existing group.
They get a Mail and simply forget it’s a group.
Probably your right.
If the Mail Client hide the header, of course my friend will not realize the hint.
But if not, hopefully he/she will remember it’s a group.
As I said before: There are much more important things to do, to make DC and regular mail more smooth side by side.
E.G. Reply to Message - #10 by webratte
We could leave an extra signature field empty and as long as it is empty use only the standard one for 1-1 and group messages.
But if someone enters a text there DC could use both, one for 1-1 and second for group messages.
