TideMail v1.0.28

TideMail v1.0.28

TideMail is a keyboard-first terminal email client with multi-account mail, a unified inbox, drafts, contacts, search, bulk actions, and optional AI tools.

Added

• Receipt tables retain item/price columns and merged-cell totals, including
  simple receipts without semantic headers. Amounts align on the right; narrow
  panes switch automatically to labelled records or label/value pairs.

• Newsletter cards stay together. Each card's image, heading, description, and
  button render as one block, and a thin rule separates neighbouring cards.
  Side-by-side cards stack left to right, then top to bottom. Quoted and
  forwarded mail is left as is.

• Add an Auto/Off image selector under Settings → Display → Reading, with
  terminal capability information. Saving applies the preference immediately.

• Real inline images in the reading pane. On terminals with Kitty graphics
  support (Ghostty, Kitty, foot), images embedded in HTML mail — CID
  parts, inline data: URIs, and content-location references — are now decoded
  and drawn as raster images inside the reading pane, scaled to the pane width,
  aspect-ratio preserved, and scrolling/clipping/reflowing with the document.
  Remote images stay blocked until the reader presses i in the content pane,
  which loads them for the current message (or the whole conversation in
  threaded view). [display] images = "off" forces text placeholders
  everywhere.

  Architecture: a new internal/richmail package owns image parsing,
  resolution (CID/data/remote), decode limits, layout, and the URL/SSRF policy;
  internal/termimage owns terminal capability detection and the Kitty Unicode
  placeholder backend; internal/ui/rich_images.go wires them into the existing
  HTML pipeline. Images render by emitting Kitty Unicode placeholder cells into
  the text, so the viewport moves them like ordinary document text rather than
  fighting Bubble Tea for cursor control. The historic [image: alt]
  placeholders remain the fallback and are unchanged on unsupported terminals.
  MIME parsing now preserves Content-ID, Content-Disposition,
  Content-Location, and inline status (attachments gains four
  backwards-compatible columns). Remote fetches have a timeout, redirect cap,
  byte cap, content-type validation, and reject loopback/private/link-local
  hosts at both URL-parse and dial time. Decoded images are bounded by bytes,
  dimensions, and pixel count, and are cached per message. An image-heavy
  message is no longer mistaken for an empty HTML body.

  Known limitations: animated GIFs show only the first frame; side-by-side
  table-cell image rows stack vertically rather than forming a two-column grid;
  WezTerm is unsupported and uses text placeholders.

Fixed

• Inline images honour the sender's height as well as width, fitting inside
  both without distortion, and are re-laid out when the terminal font size
  changes instead of keeping placements sized for the old cells.
• Moving through the message list no longer stalls on messages with loaded
  images. Images upload in the background once the cursor settles, and
  recently shown images stay in the terminal (up to 48 images or 64 MiB of
  pixels), so returning to a message is instant. TideMail removes its images
  from the terminal on exit.
• MIME image parts now have a byte and entry cache budget, and clearing a
  terminal image also releases its stored pixel data.
• Remote images reuse decoded pixels after download-cache eviction. If both
  copies have been evicted, the reader offers i to reload instead of staying
  on a loading placeholder without an active fetch.
• Absolute Content-Location references resolve from embedded MIME parts before
  considering a remote download, including when i is pressed.
• WezTerm inline images are currently unsupported. Use text placeholders
  automatically: basic Kitty graphics support does not provide the Unicode
  placeholders and virtual placements TideMail requires. Email text and
  attachment saving still work.
• A malformed private-use marker sequence (adjacent U+E000/U+E001) in a
  message body can no longer panic the renderer.
• Pressing i in a threaded conversation now loads remote images for every
  message in the thread, not just the representative one, so each reply's
  images appear.
• Inline images that cannot be drawn — no graphics terminal, images = "off",
  plain UI, or a decode failure — stay in the attachment list and remain
  saveable. Images that are drawn inline are hidden from the displayed list
  but still included when saving attachments.
• Remote image data is now evicted under a bounded byte/entry budget instead of
  being retained for the life of the process.
