we’ve just merged a pull-requests that targets the subject-things discussed here in this thread - thanks @all for contributing!) -
changes at a glance:
- in group-chats, the subject is set to the group-name
- the subject in one-to-one-chats is unchanged
it’s a simple rule now: group-name is the subject.
these changes allows Delta Chat users to send e-mails that look and behave like normal emails. the flow is nothing new: create group, set group-name, add members, send message.
a big advantage over extra controls or so (that i would really hate btw) is that the answers and subsequent messages get grouped together - in both, Delta Chat and in the traditional user agents. this won’t be easily the case when setting the subject per-message; things would probably just get more complex and harder to understand.
so, all in all, this does not change anything for pure Delta Chat users but offer a way to interact more nicely with traditional clients.
