apparition47 / mailtrackerblockerapp Goto Github PK

I've twice seen a problematic display of emails (from the same sender) when the MTB extension is enabled and the email has an included attachment.

See the attached screenshots. When MTB is enabled, the message text "above" the placement of the inline attachment is duplicated "after" the attachment, whereas message text "after" the attachment is not displayed at all.

(I will privately send the message source to apparition47.)

macOS 14.4.1 and macOS 14.5
MTB 1.0.8
(I also have the GPG Mail 8.0 extension installed. The issue I reported still occurs whether the GPG Mail extension is
enabled or disabled.)

Hi,

Are there any plans to open source this project? I see that the previous version was opensource https://github.com/apparition47/MailTrackerBlocker, do you have any plans to make this version opensource as well?

Not compatible with Sonoma Mail digital signature and encryption feature, which I use with the apporpriate certificates.

Expected:

Actual:

When viewing signed emails, the Signed label isn't displayed with the MailTrackerBlocker message security extension. Also the signing/encryption icons are greyed out in the message composer. Tested with Actalis' free S/MIME cert.

Describe the bug
email content does not load (email are totally empty)
"only" happens with, e.g., mails from BandCamp, Visa, a local forum...

disabling MTB extension fixes the issue

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 14.5
• MailTrackerBlocker version: 1.1.0

The app does not block trackers from Rule.io. I found this block of code inside an email:

<div style=3D"display:none; whit= e-space:nowrap; font:15px courier; line-height:0;">=C2=A0</div><img src=3D'= https://app.rule.io/track/image/a/n_3sdd/d/n_5in617/di/n_ru/s/n_4t5nfo/e/n_m= 4kjr' width=3D'1' height=3D'1' alt=3D'' /><div style=3D'display:none !impor= tant;mso-hide:all;'><a href=3D'https://app.rule.io/lookup' style=3D'display= : none;'><i class=3D'btlink'></i></a></div>

If you want to take a look at the .eml file, please provide me an email address, and I’ll send the file to you :-)

Thanks for a fantastic app!

Describe the bug
When the extension is enabled I cannot preview PDFs.

(To view them I need to download and then view)

In fact: the plugin strips the ".pdf" off the end of the filename.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open an email with a pdf
2. Select it and press space
3. See no preview
4. Click the paper clip and notice that there is no .pdf at the end of the filename

If I disable the extension then go back to the same message it will work as normal.
If I then enable the extension and go back to the same message it is broken again.

Expected behavior
Previews should work and filenames not be changed.

I just have a question! Do I have to keep the app open for it to work? or can I just open the mail app by itself and it'll work?

I deleted mailtrackerblocker 0.7.16, restarted my macbook pro (Intel 2020), installed the 1.01 version from Macapp store

Mail app crashes every time on opening

No crash!

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

It would be great if you could operate MTB with keyboard shortcuts. At least calling up the information would be missing here. The MTB window can then be closed with CMD-W.

ver.1.1.2 is fixed size window.

It is easy to imagine that the number of trackers that can be detected will increase with the enhancement of filters in the future.
Scrolling is also necessary in ver.1.1.2.

In addition to changing the size of the main window, it seems that it is necessary to consider changing the area where the tracker is displayed from one current pane to multiple panes.

Issue

After selecting an email (especially those with attachments), the body of message displays “Loading…” indicator for an extended period of time before displaying anything. Viewing emails with the extension disabled is instantaneous.

User reported 🧩 puzzle icon is missing when Hide My Email is used. Not sure if the extension is blocking trackers or not in this case.

UPDATE

I've tested Hide My Email (Sonoma 14.5, MTB 1.0.11). It works with MailTrackerBlocker.

But there's a completely separate issue where MailTrackerBlocker sometimes doesn't run in Mail (evident by the MEMessageSecurityHandler ⓧ icon missing [or 🧩 icon in older versions]) even though it's enabled in the Mail Extension settings. I think it's a bug with Mail so if you experience this issue, please report to Apple referencing FB13801609.

Possible Workarounds

• Disable, re-enable MailTrackerBlocker in Mail > Settings > Extensions then try selecting another message.
• As a last resort, some users reported they were able to get the puzzle icon back up by uninstalling then reinstalling MailTrackerBlocker.

Note GPG Message security extension users

If you have another active Message security extension like GPG, Mail will not show MailTrackerBlocker's ⓧ icon (🧩 puzzle icon in older versions). This is expected. Mail only allows one Message security extension at a time. The issue above is specifically about MailTrackerBlocker set as the active Message security extension, yet not showing ⓧ.
